Looks good to me.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Looks good.

 

Although some people are different, but I don't really like the Hyper 212. I know that it performs very well, but I know a lot of people (myself included) who just dont like it for a few reasons. 

 

If you can squeeze it, I would go for an AIO so you can get some extra overclocking headroom

Should get the IPS version of the display much better for the long run over spending a lot on your keyboard and all that now

 

450 Pounds

Also you can overclock locked Skylake CPUs with some boards, mostly Asrock at this time, so you could save there as well, or just go haswell I don't know the price difference in the UK

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Thank you, I don't really need the keyboard right away so I guess I'll cash in a bit more for an ips display
