Looks fine, with that GPU you could easily go down on PSU size, no need for a 600w psu here, this GPU could run on almost any PSU, get a small PSU with 450w and save some money.
So i made a list but it didn't really get any better than what you currently listed, it did hit ~£700.
PCPartPicker part list:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/pt2Zzy
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£155.99 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: Asus Z87-K ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£89.84 @ Scan.co.uk)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (£57.79 @ Ebuyer)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory (£59.99 @ Ebuyer)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£35.99 @ Aria PC)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Video Card (£118.49 @ Ebuyer)
Case: CiT Vantage ATX Mid Tower Case (£35.01 @ Amazon UK)
Power Supply: XFX ProSeries 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£35.00 @ Ebuyer)
Monitor: Asus VE247H 23.6" Monitor (£119.99 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £708.09
But going for the XFX power supply, ASUS screen and the G.Skill RAM would be my suggestion here. The ASUS screen have some nice reviews, the G.Skills too, and the XFX power supply is made from high quality components compared to any psu on the market.
So you reckon a 450W PSU will suffice and thanks for the help mate really appreciate it =]
I actually found out that i've putted two times the almost same RAM in the list by accident, oooops.
It's actually closer to £650, so thats something good, i've also made a build with the extra £50:

This GPU is way more powerful, it will run high/Ultra in anything. It also requires a bit of extra power so i've changed the psu for the 550w version which did make it just over £700.
If you don't feel like the extra gaming performance is needed, you could also take my £650 build and add a 120GB SSD for the OS, or you could for a little more change the i5 4670K for a i7 4770K.
and yes the 750ti is not even using 90w at full load, so you could even run this on a 300w psu, the 450w psu is probably going to run at ~50% load, which is the sweet spot for power efficiency on PSU's
