I think you might want to go for something faster than the R7 250 (it's basically a laptop part). It depends on what screen resolution you're going for, but the R7 250X is basically double the speed for very little extra cash. If you can stretch to it an R7 260 or better would be good for most things.

Everything else looks good- just make sure that the '500W' power supply is a decent model that can actually deliver 500W (the cheap unbranded supplies are pretty awful...). I'd recommend something like a Consair CX 500 as it's a reasonable 500W supply that doesn't cost a bomb.

An extra 20 - 30 £ will get me the Nvidia GTX 750 and is part of a prebuilt pc. I think TI versions are avaliable also if either of these will see me with a comparably better performance for the price.

Get the GTX 750 TI in that case. That is a much more powerful card than the R7 250 (despite similar names). The GTX 750ti is fast enough to run all modern games at 1920 x 1080 resolution with good detail settings and is the first card out in Nvidias new 'Maxwell' range of graphics cards.

The TI version is an additonal £25 more than the standard gtx 750. Worth the additonal investment?
