would like to build a some what future proof pc, to fit around this motherboard at a price of $1200-£800 newest components over cheaper older versions. Price must include the OS (Win8) and i5 over i7, just to keep the price lower but if you can get the i7 under the budget all the better.

+1; in my opinion, this build is pretty good and will last 1~5 years.
