What would you change?

My friend won't need loads of storage and prefers responsiveness, hence only 256GB SSD.

510 pounds is absolute max. Not one penny over.

Does he specifically need 256GB SSD?

This would be better but up to you.

I was looking at that but it's only SATA 2, so he may as well pay a little bit extra. Same value but better performance. What I might do for the graphics card is buy a 7950 at about 170 pounds soon, and then resell to him for about 130 when I upgrade to...

DAT 290X

Good plan?

Yes, but why would you want a 290X?

Why not get a 270 or 280X and upgrade the rest of your PC? lol...

Because grafix > sensibles

The rest is fine, the 8320 with a mild overclock will chug along great. And for the price, it's unbeatable.
