for GPU i intend to wait for next gen 4870. Just need someone to check and give some advice to improvements. Also is it possible to buy it all now and build it running from onboard graphics, so i can start to OC and generally get it going, so when the gpu is released i can plug it in? All input is very much apreciated

No because that mobo doesn't have integrated graphics, 4850 and 4870 should be some nice cards though, so either wait or buy a cheap GPU to hold you over.
