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

Oh he doesn't have an extra hdd. Yes then 240 gb is not enough. Add an extra HDD or replace ssd with hdd. Cheaper cooler, cheaper mobo should have enough money for an extra 1TB WD blue

  • 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. 

Home PC: i5 6402P | Kingston HyperX 8GBx2 | Gigabyte G1 gaming GTX 1060 | Kingston UV400 240GB | WD blue 1TB | Gigabyte H110m-S2 | Cooler Master B500 v2

Laptop: Lenovo Yoga 710(Kaby Lake)

Phone: Oneplus 3

Tablet: iPad air 2

You can get a cheaper power supply I think, you're only using 350 watts according to pcpartpicker.
