Hello everyone, have built computers before and quite successfully, but just want some advice on if this would be a good computer build for what it is going to be used for. It will be used for medium to high end games, preferably on high-ultra settings at a playable fps (30-60fps), video editing/ rendering, 3D design and some other design software. This is the build I've thought up, this is only using Amazon at the moment I will search for better deals when i start purchasing, budget of around £700:

This comes to around £700, is there anything that is overkill, or not enough for what the rig will be used for? Any help is appreciated. Obviously purchasing from England so English websites are obviously prefered.
Thankyou for any help.
