Questions

1) should I change the motherboard? I have selected the asus m4a78LT-M LE because I don't know if I should take an asrock board, but I also noticed a alot of people posted reviews on the asrock board and have said good things and the asus board it isn't that popular. My problem is that I don't want to get a DOA board.

2) Will the build bottleneck?

3) Is the power supply good? I know everybody says that corsair makes good power supplies, but this isn't an 80+ psu. Is it still good to use? Oh, and since we are on the same topic, is that enough power for the case fans, gpu, etc.? 

4) is this build good for atleast 1 year? Im going to do a powerful build in June of 2012 and wanted this to stay alive till then so I can give this build to my sister.

5) will the parts work together?

    Looks OK all round.

    Asrock boards are made by Asus (well, Asrock is owned by Asus), it's just their lower end range. So you will be fine whichever one you choose.

    A 600w PSU is a little overkill for what you are putting in the box, but it wont do any harm. If you want to save a little more a decent 500w PSU will easily be more than enough.

    This build should work well and will keep you going for at least a year :-)
