To be honest mate for the price youve gone for that an excellent pc really good prices on all the stuff. Id say the 8320 is slight overkill and could save the cash and use a 6350 (if general gaming use) and put the cash towards an ssd, samsung or crucial make decent ones

Also id suggest spending an extra couple £ on a 1600 or 1866mhz ram.for the small price its worth the extra performance and also maybe look at a 280x its basically a rebranded 7870 but is a newer chip, might be able to grab for similar price point

MUCH BETTER!
you won't really be needing a Gold EVGA 650W PSU as its not a high end build too
an XFX 550W is just enough
added a better GPU,MOBO AND RAM
