My total budget is £1000 (British pounds sterling)

I will be using this for gaming and will be running 1 monitor, probably 2 later on though.

If you could look over it, see if it's compatible and if there are any better choices, just in case I missed anything

32 GB of RAM is overkill, and I'd go with Skylake

You could get Windows from G2A or /r/microsoftsoftwareswap.  I had drop the 32GB of RAM and the i7 since your GTX 980 didn't have a price.  The 390X will be up there in the 980's range.

I want to know what it's like building in the Phantom

IDK what the Phantom is like, but you should either quote or tag me (like this: @herominer72) next time so I see. The 980 will bring the price up, so if you can afford it I'd just drop down to a 6600K and the 980 but it'll still be expensive.

@NumLock21 that's over my budget and I'd also like to keep it at 950 if possible

Why get skylake so badly?

more PCIe lanes to go around for multiple devices.

@NumLock21 theres no point in putting more money in for for less performance on the posibility i might need more in the future

Oh well its your decision, want Haswell over skylake that's fine too. tried to get you a skylake built because your doing a new build so why not get the newest stuff with the newest technology.
