If you mean that one?
It's the same as the Intel one I suggested minus the USB 3.0 or SATA 6Gb/s

If we really wanna futureproofing why not get
M4A89GTD pro motherboard and unlock the cores on a duel or a tri? Its suposed to overclock like a madman too
here is info
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 890GX Motherboard Review - Overclockers Club
That way he can upgrade since he would have the new chipset, socket, and everything. This way he can use a lower processor now and get a better later
Core Unlocker:
Core Unlocker is another hardware driven switch that when enabled allows the system to automatically tune the BIOS, to attempt to unlock hidden cores in some of AMD's processors. As we have all seen I am sure some of the AMD Phenom II X2's and X3's are actually Phenom II X4's that have one core disabled, either due to stability issues or simply to meet demand for that particular CPU. This utility attempts to restore it to the quad core state. To test this feature, I placed a Phenom II X2 555 "Black Edition" processor into the system and flipped the switch. To my amaze the system automatically unlocked the other two cores with no other input from me. With this board, I was able to stably run the unlocked cores for 2 hours using Prime 95 and had no stability issues. In fact, I have kept it in the system for the last four days and still running strong as can be.

The rig in my sig plays SCII with flying colors
It was near the upper end of $1,400 when I built it (Hard drives included), so you could probably get it for around $1,200 (with the high capacity HDD's) if you really know where to look. You could probably get near $1,000 without the high capacity HDD's, like a 500GB HDD or something.
If you're in the beta, add me. iFargle.you

Thanks for all the help guys. Please look over my order before I hit the purchase button and see if I am missing anything or any big mistakes I should rethink.
Do I need thermal paste or will it come with that? Thanks.

Yeah starcraft 2 isn't demanding at all. I'd be willing to bet you could max it at 1900x1080 with a 5750...

$1 cheaper, same performance.
Remember to use the promo code with that case for free shipping.
The heatsinks on the RAM look a little bit tall?
But I doubt it'll cause a problem.
Still, I suggest some RAM with a lower heatsink, and XMP for easily getting the settings/timings/frequency and such adjusted.

One of those three is what I would pick over the sticks you have selected.
As for the rest...
Looks well enough.
Enjoy that computer.
About the Thermal "Stuff" The CPU Cooler will come with a tube.
