It's a bit more expensive but you get a better quality motherboard and a much better quality psu and case.

A bit overkill on the power supply; you only need about 400W. A Corsair CX430 will be fine and lower the price tag slightly, unless you want to get something modular. Also remember to buy your operating system. 64 Bits are best because 32 bit OS use about 1.5GB of system memory. Apart from those two little things, it seems to me like you have got a solid build.

If I were to stick with the 750W power supply it wouldn't damage any of my parts would it?

My budget (for the PC its self) is probably around 600-700 pounds.
I do have a mouse which is pretty good although I do lack a decent keyboard and monitor (I have an old keyboard and monitor that I can use temporarily)
As for an operating system I plan to buy Windows 8.1
