@GeeZillon Like It Says £500 Budget And Used For Gaming

That dosent really answer the question. What you're saying there half imply s that you've brought it and half imply s that you already have it.

Im guessing that you dont have it yet and would suggest a slightly different build.

This has a much better CPU and GPU

The GPU 'should' come with molex to 4 pin connectors

You dont need a CPU cooler or thermal past, the CPU comes with both

Getting better but the 980x is still a more powerful GPU and like I said before, You dont need a CPU cooler, or thermal compound - if you're going with a i3 - which is what pretty much every person here would suggest. 2 cores aint gonna last you very long, even if you can overclock it.
