I'm currently looking to build a gaming/video editing computer and I have decided to use this mother board
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007RIFKUS?ie=UTF8&tag=bestreviewsadvisorcom-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007RIFKUS

Is this a good choice? as I want this computer to last me a good long time and let me upgrade the components a few years down the line if needed.


Also if it isn't to much trouble can someone build me a computer with this motherboard I have a budget of £1500.

thank you

Why are you picking that motherboard? It is an outdated motherboard. There is LGA 1150 socket and LGA 1151 both newer. LGA 1155 is older. And just so you know motherboards do not effect proformance. Just more expensive ones may have better OC'ing and more PCI E ports and such, Depending on what you need in a motherboard some are beter then others
