Not bad. I've translated yours onto the UK Partpicker, I had to change a couple of parts (You didn't include a CPU cooler for one, Thermaltake don't sell Power supplies in the UK, couple of other minor changes):

Good build. If you want you could spend a little more and get the a10 7850k

£532. Bargain! Can easily overclock the CPU to 4Ghz, and being Haswell gives you realy good upgrade options, can include an i5 or i7 later on. Also includes an SSHD instead of a standard harddrive. £68 left over so loads of wiggle room, this PC is easily capable of gaming at 1080p so you can spend the extra whever you like (proper SSD/faster processor/faster GPU/aftermarket cooling, for example)
