You could drop down to 8GB RAM and you would lose like 1FPS max, 8GB is plenty for gaming.

I'd base your build on the i5-6600k as well, would be better for gaming and possibly slightly cheaper as well.

I would also get a better quality PSU at this budget. That one's OK for a home PC or a very basic £300 PC but for this I'd get something better quality. I'd look at 450W+

That would give you slightly better performance in games for less cash.
