I would get a bit bigger ssd. Worth it in the long run. 250 or 500 would be good. Learn from my mistakes.

Are you looking to game on this?

 

If so then,

-Get a better PSU preferably EVGA or XFX

-Drop the I7 and get an I5

-With the extra money from the CPU change grab a 980 or 390x

Do you know any websites that would sell parts cheaper? The site would need to deliver to the UK/Northern Ireland.

And also thanks for the suggestions!

I thought the same but Then you get used to having it be fast so you want all your programs to be fast as well. It really is worth the money. I would buy an evo though.
