Looks good. I like the Coolermaster cases. They are good to work with. You've chosen components that are recommended a lot.
I might suggest going to micro-ATX size to save space. The motherboards nowadays offer literally the same performance and the CM cases can take your graphics card and other stuff.
The Coolermaster PSU is overpriced in my opinion. You should be able to get a quality 500W PSU for around £40.

yeah i think i'll go for a mATX motherboard then, any suggestions as to which mATX mobo to go for? the power supply should be enough yeah? btw all choices from ebuyer.com 
Well if u wanted an mATX case then ya mATX mobo but definitely hit an 80+ PSU @@
Just tower alone 484 quid

Springing for a 600W/80+ means a wee bit more headroom for GPU upgrades later down the road so a good investment if within range ^^
Also consider this 24.6" LCD
