It's a great build. I see some room to save money though. I recommend these changes.

Thank you for this, couple of querys though if you don't mind? :)

That mobo only supports ram 2133, I guess mine is more future proof if I want to upgrade in future?

I had the Samsung 850 evo to start with but was told I won't see much difference in boot speed with going with the Sandisk and it's cheaper.

Please could you explain the difference in the GPU's?

No it's not really more future proof. RAM speeds won't make very much difference. It's certainly not worth an extra £66 over the board I chose.

It's true that the actually speeds would be similar, but the Samsung is far more reliable.

The video card you chose is the reference design, and the one I chose it now. The one I choose will run cooler and perform better.
