Hi, I am going to build a PC around Christmas time and have around £800 to do so.
I have built this but just want extra opinions and to see if you guys can come up with something better

Something like this is better, however, it is a bit nearer the £900 mark.

Spend a little extra for the i5-6600k if you want an unlocked CPU. Do not buy a Hyper 212 if you're buying a CPU cooler, they're a waste of money. Get something like a Raijintek Aidos or Cryorig M9i for less than £20. Or get a better cooler if you're looking to overclock.

Don't. The cooler is bad and there is no SSD.
