Looking to build a capable gaming system for a friend. His budget is £500. Prefer it to be a microATX build he prefers things simple and minimalist.
This is what I've got so far:

This leaves me a budget of £170 for the graphics card (maybe upto £235 if I pair down the SSD and RAM), so will hopefully will be able to pick up the RX 480 once released.
The motherboard doesn't have any USB3 header, but seems like an otherwise solid choice. Would like a better option that wouldn't cause me issues with the processor needing a BIOS update (want this to be a straight forward build without complications).
Also looking for suggestions on the best sub £25 CPU cooler
I believe the 860K benefits from faster 2400Mhz RAM, so I've selected that, but am I better going to pair modules or a single stock (in case I opt to cut it down to 8Gb total).
Any suggestions for other improvements?
