If I could do my build over, I would make it white. I'd also get RBG LEDs and keyboards. That way I could easily change my system theme color with a click of a button. 

My System:

Intel Core i5-4690k  / Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo / Asus Z97-AR / MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 100me / Corsair Vengeance LP 1600Mhz 2x4GB DDR3 / Samsung 850 EVO 250GB / Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD / NZXT S340 / EVGA SuperNOVA G1 650W / Windows 10 Home 64 / AOC G2460PQU 1080p 144hz / Corsair VOID Wireless RGB / Razer Taipan Laser / Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 / 

My Laptop (Asus X55C-DS31):

Intel Core i3-2370M @ 2.4Ghz / 6GB RAM / OCZ ARC100 240GB SSD /

My Phone:

OnePlus Three Graphite Black / 64GB

Looks good but yeah as BiscuitMassacre said rgb would be sick. Maybe if you could get a kraken x61 instead. But for budget reasons the x31 is fine and the build will look and run great.

My GTX 970 carries me to global.

250gb is bit small for storage but it is good overall

Yeah I know, I thought I'd start with an SSD and over the next few pay slips get more storage when needed.

That's how I'd do it. I never really understood why people get an HDD, then the SSD and transfer the OS and everything over.

Seems so much easier to get the SSD first. Plus HDD's are super cheap anyway.

Maybe Black Friday is worth waiting for? Not sure how big that is over in the UK.

Try using PCPartPicker to organize everything

I would definitely pick up something like a HUE+ to add some color. Maybe get a cheaper SSD to save costs?
