Some quick advise on the monitor. It isn't worth getting an ultrawide that is 25" because you end up with less space than a 25" 16:9. If you want an ultawide get one that is at least 29" but I would recommend a 16:9 for that budget

You would be better off with something like this:

Went with a 29" as others have suggested. The pixel density of 2560x1080 on a 25" display is not proportionate.

Consider a GTX 1060 6G over the 4GB RX480 for a few more pounds. You might need the extra VRAM with the higher monitor resolution.

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB 6GT OC Video Card  (£238.99 @ Amazon UK) 

Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB WINDFORCE OC 6G Video Card  (£242.99 @ Ebuyer)
