First off. You could save 7 pounds by buying the 8320 from amazon (Price is 110GBP), it's not much but if you can get it cheaper, why not? This is only if you really want to keep the 8320, you could always downgrade to a 6300 and it'd put you within your 400 pound budget.

Alternatively you could change the motherboard which would save a little, also you could buy a Cooler Master N200 from eBay for like 32 pounds.

For instance, these:

The build above only puts you over your budget by 66p.

I'm assuming you're only using the SSD as a boot drive so you could possibly downgrade that to a 64gb one and go with the Cooler Master N200 linked above and that'd only put you at 378.48.

Honestly, there are quite a few ways to keep the performance but lower the price, just really depends on what you want.

Personally I'd grab the Cooler Master N200 from eBay, grab the 8320 from Amazon, grab the same SSD, GPU and change the Motherboard to a GA-78LMT from Scan. This would round you up to 394.46GBP

Thanks man, would the motherboard affect performance in anyway?
