I need to try and get a smaller and lighter PC next year for uni, and my PC as-is feels like it's starting to fall apart, so I'm thinking about starting again and putting all of my current components to other uses.
After a bit of searching, the most future-proof design I can come up with is the following:

Any thoughts? I'm guessing I should probably be waiting until LGA2011/Bulldozer?
Ideally I would get a more powerful card to avoid having to upgrade it later on, but it's just too expensive. Getting the 2600K over the 2500K seems a good idea based on benchmarks, the AX650 was only a few quid more than the HX650, and I'm hoping the cooler can make it near-silent. No idea about the motherboard really, but there were only three matx options and I've always liked Gigabyte boards.
