this is my build, mainly interested in whether or not there are better motherboard choices in the same price bracket, this is stretching the budget as is, must be from amazon.co.uk,(super saver delivery) (or other websites which offer free delivery to ireland) thanks alot !

one other chose is using the g3258 in a z97 mb. intel cpu are faster in games then the older amd. the g3258 can be over clocked. when he has the funds he can put in an i5 into the mb by just swapping the cpu out.
