Intend on playing skyrim.

-Be quiet L8 600w psu
-MSi nvidia gtx 970 gpu
-Western digital caviar blue 1tb hdd
-San disk ssd plus 120gb
-G skills ripjaw x 2x4g 1600mhz ddr3 ram
-Asrock z97m-atx/ac motherboard
-thermaltake core v1 case
-intel i5 4690k cpu

I have a maximum budget of £7-800, ideally a bit less. Am I getting the best value for money? As long as it plays games like skyrim, battlefront and GTA at a decent rate, I'll be happy. Which is the best windows to use? And how would I go on installing all the component drivers without a disc drive (would an external work?)? Any cooling needed?
My final question: I was thinking of setting this up on my tv so I can get it running before I can afford a monitor. Will I be able to set it up with just a hdmi?

Sorry about all the questions

Here is what I'd go with personally, it uses skylake instead of haswell, so you get a bit more performance out of the CPU at stock speeds, you get more RAM, a bigger SSD and also a better power supply as well. It will work just fine with your TV. As to how to install windows to your build, you have to create a disk image using the windows ISO file that you can download on a USB and install windows off that.
