MSI MOBOs aren't good - try asrock or asus.
you can get patriot signature RAM, same spec for £10 less. Or if you want to go really mad, you can 8GB of Gksills 2133 ripjawz for £59
you can get an XFX 550W PSU for around £46 - the unit is made by seasonic the king of PSUs
the K version of that processor is also available for £6 more.
I whipped this up on pcpart picker, its £10 over budget, but it lists my improvements written above as well as being a completely red themed build with SLI support for future: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/4QFNxr
some red water cooling in a 200r with a side window would look sexy as hell.

and why exactly is the MSI mobo not good?
i have a MSI Z97 GAMING 5 and it overclocks great, has a great simple easy to use bios and has a sexy red look.

This case i chose has a bigger window,it also has a limitation on height for cpu coolers=157mm high.
For the case,

Also an imo better motherboard.
It also has an amd gpu=r9 280X which should be as good as the gtx 770 depending on the game played.
Also the 4690K used.

According to game debate should this be good for playing that game.They look at this res. "1280 x 1024" but still.
