Still going to need currency. Also, case? Will you be overclocking?

Are we ever going to get that currency? I'm going to assume it's GBP. Correct me if I'm wrong. You still haven't told us your case or whether you'll be overclocking, so I'll assume you won't be and that you have an ATX sized case. You're going to have to make sure your case is a compatible form factor though.

You can either spend the extra £70 on a new PSU, a good one, or add an SSD if you don't already have one. If you would prefer, you could change the 4460 for a Xeon E3-1230 V3. The Xeon has 8 threads which will be beneficial for editing/rendering and that kind of stuff. If your case is shit, you could get what I've suggested and spend the extra £70 on a new case. Oh, and if you want to overclock, swap the 4460 for a 4690k which is an extra £45.

"Oh, and if you want to overclock, swap the 4460 for a 4690k which is an extra 45. "

Motherboard is fine, just grab a 4690k instead. You'll want to get an aftermarket cooler if you're overclocking though.
