Spec looks fine, though when you consider postage costs it might work out cheaper reducing the number of suppliers. Have you considered buying an SSD as a system drive and a larger HDD for games/movies etc

i would have put an r9 290 with a custom cooler like the sapphire tri-x but i couldn't find one :) 
The cpu i basically the same for cheaper. Nobody needs an optical drive, but if you need, you can buy it i don't mind. The gpu is much much much better, this is the most important part for gaming ;) 
The memory is cheaper and the psu is a corsair one- not the best corsair made psu, but perfect for budget users :)

if you can wait a week or 2 they should show up eventually... if not go for the gtx770. the 290-s will probly sell out the instant they show up.

If you can extend your budget a little bit to like 800 pounds, you could buy a better case or another 8gb of memory :)

Yeah i will consider where im purchasing everything from, just an overview the now. i will consider an SSD if i feel necesary.. I think 1tb should be sufficient is easy enough to get another if i need.

Here's the final list now. The 40 pounds left out for the custom cooled r9 290, because i could find only reference cooled ones, which are terrible. The sapphire tri-x will cost IMO exactly 40 pounds more (like in my country). And about the case, it's just plain awesome. You get a legendary haf-x, with the same features within a mid-tower. You watch some reviews ;)

And probably you could get a B85 mobo for cheaper and leave the money for an optical drive if you need one. If you don't need it, you can stay with this build.

No the tri-x cooler has fixed the r9 290's thermal and noise problems. Just read some reviews about it.

I don't know just search for it on the site you are buying from. But this custom card was released only a week ago so you'll likely be waiting for it.
