^^ Is this a good mobo, what is mATX? will it matter for me?, if yes please suggest another around £50, that would work with the CPU.

If you're chosing between those boards, you should probably go with the MSI. The gigabyte is a micro atx board, they are smaller and a little harder to work on. The MSI will be a little faster. You should really look at least getting into the E7300 cpu. The speed difference will be very noticeable.

For the combo drive, I would suggest this, or some other SATA drive. The prices are virtually identical these days and the smaller cable allows for better airflow.

The case is a mini case, it will be hard to work with that compact space. This case is a mid tower and comes with a psu. It's not great, but it looks like you are going with a budget system, so it should do what you need.
