Thats what i'd do for the money, I'd ensure you get an i5 so you have a good platform to work on for future upgrades. The things I would upgrade in the future would be storage space, and then maybe a better graphics card if more money comes up in the future.

The 950 isn't quite as entry level as the 370, but it's not quite as good as a 380. The extra £20 for a 380 would definitely be worth it, if you could manage it. No SSD, and you'll need to use stock cooler, but you can add an SSD asap, and an aftermarket cooler. You can OC the i5 if you want. The 6600 will cost £175 btw, none of the cheap ones are in stock anymore.

380 over budget a little, lesser quality PSU.
