Hey what do you guys think of this build? Any changes worth making, OS is already purchased so I hvae £750 to get the rest of the components. The build comes to £750.59 including delivery from Scan.

PC will be mainly used for gaming (League of Legends, BF4, Other Multiplayer games and story games like Dishonored and Bioshock.) as well as some course work, not much though as I have a laptop for coursework

There is, it's an Intel Xeon E3 1230 V3. It's better than the FX-8350.

Oh sorry didn't see the custom part, would it be worth getting a server CPU over the FX?

Of course, the server processor is more reliable.
