Well, the safest way is to actually measure how long should the card be at most. I'm assuming your budget is £120 based on the GTX 950 selection but if you can increase it to £150 you can get a R9 380 or a GTX 960 both are much better than the 950.

How long should the graphics card be so that your case supports it?

240 GB should be a good start, for the GPU try the R9 390 or the RX 480. -

Get a Skylake CPU e.g. i5 6500 -

HGST are uncommon in Australia strangely, so are WD drives. The only WD ones I saw are like WD Blacks.

You can get faster RAM, your motherboard supports it.
-
It's a hard call, not knowing if you are fine turning down the settings in the future. The GTX 970 is good enough for 2 years on, the 980 for 3 or 4. If you demand max settings with 60 fps and AA on, upgrade it when the card is not strong enough.
-
How long is your 'future proofing' build supposed to last?
-
The GTX 970 will only just reach 1080p 60fps now, however if you want more future proofing, the GTX 980 is a decent choice due to the 4GB VRAM instead of 3.5+0.5GB. Out of curiosity, are you able to ship items from other countries? Because the GTX 1060 is out soon and you can get the RX 480 which is better than Maxwell cards.

What resolution are you playing at?

There is something called 'currency converter'.

Like I said, I don't live in Belarus so I have no information on availability of parts. Another note, I am trying to help you. If you stay insistent on your parts, it's okay. You don't have to go criticise every point that's not yours on other people's builds.
-
1. I don't live in Belarus so I don't know what is available or not. 2. Future proofing does not mean needing a Maximus VIII Hero or a 1000W power supply. A Z170-A/Z170-E for the motherboard and 650W power supply if you are so future conscious. 3. If you are buying from Belarus, why use PCPP from US? Unless you are shipping from US so that's another story. Use a local store pricing and manually type in the pricing. 4. The R5 does have two optical drive bays, get your facts right. 5. WD Black drives are for performance. You don't need 2+2TB of them at one go. 1 TB is actually more than sufficient now. If you run out of space, buy one in the future. 6. The GTX 970 is not worth it now. Pascal and Polaris cards are released now and if you game at 1440p get the GTX 1070 or the RX 480 for 1080p. 7. Your GPU is too long and will block drive bays. Either remove the drive bays or get the Define R5.
