If you want it more colour neutral, get this slightly slower black 8GB DIMM instead of the red one;

Pentium G4560 is essentially a slightly slower i3-6100 but costs £35 less. RX 470>GTX 1050Ti. Better quality case and PSU. 2TB HDD because it makes zero sense to spend more for less storage. 240GB SSD, since 120GB is minimal. Newer chipset motherboard really doesn't make much difference but it's nice to have.
