Here you go! I got you a SO MUCH BETTER SSD for few more pounds (stay away from the Kingston V300 because it has issues) while the SAMSUNG 850 EVO series are well regarded SSDs and also got you an overclockable processor and the same MSI Gaming 3 board but with the Z97 chipset so that you can overclock at NO price increase :)

I would make altreations as I'm not even sure if that PSU will stability run that system lol.

I changed the mobo because if you have an i7 wouldn't make sense to have a H97, 450W seemed cutting it close and it definitely wouldn't allow any future GPU/CPU OC.

But tbh you probably would have been better off with getting an i5 and Hyper 212 Evo and OCing for a more overall better build but what's done is done :)

Can someone please tell me how to actually do that I'm new around here :(

A non overclockable processor like the one you gave him will be make the capabilities of the Z97 board to be useless... Also at the time I revised his parts list, he still had headroom on his PSU but you have a point that getting a higher wattage PSU will be better for OC and future upgrades :) So here you go OP:

He said that he had already bought the non OCable CPU,Cooler and case. It just felt kinda odd having an i7 with a H97 dunno if I'm just being superficial :P or not but Z97 will allow for future M.2/Sata express, SLI, future OCing and compatibility with the new broadwell chips I think(Correct me if I'm wrong) although I doubt there will be much need to upgrade to it.
