But newegg was cheap, and it is now £60 under budget, anything I can do to improve?

This is probably not what you're looking for, however I'd strongly recommend swapping out that wireless adapter you have.  I've had a bad experience with TP-Link in the past, as their support for Windows 8 and up is very lacking.  I had one of their adapters, which only had driver support only went up to 8, preventing me from going to 8.1 without crashing and restarting constantly.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll look for alternatives.

Build looks pretty solid, if you ever want to go Crossfire, you are going to need a bigger PSU, so you could go ahead and get a bigger one?

 

Aftermarket cooler, that way the case stays quiet?

 

maybe switch the Memory to red memory, probably wouldn't cost more though....

 

I like the idea of a Cooler and Bigger PSU the most.

 

I bet you could do both of those things with your leftover budget.

I'm only adding a cooler in at the moment; the case comes with two fans that I will keep installed until I can afford to get some good ones.

I've switched the PSU out for a 750W.

hmm, i don't think 750 is going to be enough... Could be wrong. PCPartpicker is showing 743w being used after you add a second GPU.

 

I'd get at least 800.

 

here is an EVGA 850 Gold.

Also, didn't say this before, but when I said get a CPU Cooler, I mean, just get something cheap, so it will be quiet, but also be a bit better than the stock cooler.

 

Something like Hyper Evo 212.
