So this is the build that i am currently thinking of getting

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/CfbwK8

Need advice on the motherboard as i don't really know much about them so any advice would be much appreciated.

PC is going to be used for gaming and not much else other than basic web functionality.
May possibly overclock sometime in the future but not yet and would get a different cooler when i actually do.

£700 is really the maximum i can stretch my budget to.

Any advice on wireless network adapters would also be appreciated.

Thanks for your time and help.

P.S Would like to try and stick with the red colour scheme :)

This USB wifi adapter should be fine.

He mentioned he wants to overclock in the future in which case stick with the 8350, as you'd need a "K" intel CPU to overclock. You could even toss in a Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo into your build, it should only be about 25-30 bucks and will allow you to overclock, I had my 8350 at 4.5ghz with the 212 evo.

+1, but why an FX-8350? An FX-8320 can achieve the same speeds as an FX-8350 with minimal overclocking.

Depends what he wants, if he wants a 4.0ghz CPU then the 8320+212 evo would be great, but if he wants it at like 4.5ghz or so I'd go with the 8350 and 212.
