    Here's some changes I made.
    You get gold efficiency psu, it's semi modular but you have to connect the 24pin atx cable and the video card 8 pin connectors anyway.
    You get 512 GB and nvme  SSD (higher speed) ... and you get to use the M.2 connector you have on the board.
    The motherboard is fine, I was about to suggest MSI B450M Gaming Plus but this Asrock model is decent as well. You're really limiting your choices with mATX - if you go with ATX case, you may get better quality motherboards at the same price, but the case may be a bit more expensive.
     
    I would encourage you to drop the 2 TB mechanical drive and use that money in the monitor budget - it's really a shame to use that powerful video card with 1080p and a 21.5" monitor.
    For example, I'd suggest spending 150 uk pounds for :
    LG 25UM58-P 25.0" 2560x1080 60 Hz Monitor (25UM58-P) - PCPartPicker
    or 160 uk pounds for :
    LG 25UM58 25.0" 2560x1080 75 Hz Monitor (25UM58) - PCPartPicker
     
    Another great option is  this at 190 uk pounds AOC Q3279VWFD8 31.5" IPS LED QHD (2560x1440) Freesync 75Hz monitor. (VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort)
    In the build below, there's 44 uk pounds left in the 900 budget, and if you drop the 51 uk pound mechanical drive, you have 95 uk pounds. If you take out the 80 uk pounds monitor, you now have 95+80 = 175 uk pounds, so you'd only go above your budget by 15 uk pounds to get a decent big monitor.
    Mechanical drives you can buy any time of day, but you don't change the monitor so often, buy something you don't have to strain your eyes on.... 21.5" in 2019... bah.

    If you play a lot of FPS games, switch out the 60Hz monitor for a 144Hz one.
