kick out the ssd and take a 1tb hdd instead , u culd use a cooler thats just a little smaller ( also cheaper) its just an i5 , u could also use a mobo thats slightly cheaper like the m3 versin of that board. install windws with an usb stick and buy a key online for 10(euro) no idea how much that is in pound

  • You can knock down the cooler to a Hyper 212 EVO or 212X.
  • You might want to pick up an additional HDD for the price you save up from above(unless you have a NAS or don't use more than 240GB)
  • Why 1x8 GB RAM? Unless you want to upgrade soon in future, 2x4GB will perform better because it's dual channel. 
  • This one is a personal preference, but you can get a GTX 1060 for just 6 pounds more : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/Ft7CmG/zotac-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-mini-video-card-zt-p10600a-10l

 

Seems like a solid deal otherwise to me.
