Any reason for the AMD preference?

This is what I'd build for the price, you can add more RAM and maybe a better CPU cooler later on.

Just my thoughts, you should get an SSD from the beginning. Save up the extra money for one man.

GTX 1060 mostly as a placeholder, I'd recommend getting a used GTX 980 instead for around £200. Then you can spend the extra £75 or so on an HDD and a better PSU, or maybe a nice aftermarket CPU cooler.

I'd be able to then upgrade the GPU and add a HDD in the future right?
