This is my pc im planning to build, with a budget of £1000, and I wanted to ask the community if theres any changes I should make. The only things that bother me about this system are the msi mobo and kingston ssd as ive heard some bad reviews. Also if you could recommend me a cheap £20 keyboard, that would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I've gone for a very similar build, but put in 16GB of RAM, a better SSD and a better monitor. ;)

This would be a lot better. Much bigger ssd and more reliable psu.

Yes you could.
I would suggest going with the 6700k and a cheap cooler like the Be Quiet! Pure Rock even if you're not overclocking, as it will give you a 0.6GHz higher base clock speed.
You won't be able to overclock it though, as you'd need a Z170 board for this.
