That configuration can be done better for less money.

And you can get Windows cheaper on eBay or elsewhere. Just look around. In Germany it sells for 20€, I think the UK shouldn't be different.
The Monitor pretty much sucks, and I don't think you need such a fast and expensive Wifi-card
The Power supply is single rail and not optimal, WD caviar Blacks are wasted money (Louder, not faster than other normal drives)
Maybe get the SSD in 1 - 2 months? Then you can spend more on the craphics card/CPU

Monitor:

IPS Panel, much better coloration

CPU:
http://skinflint.co.uk/intel-core-i5-4430-bx80646i54430-a931007.html
Much faster than the AMD-CPU

Motherboard:

RAM: (MUCH cheaper!)
http://skinflint.co.uk/kingston-hyperx-lovo-dimm-xmp-kit-8gb-khx1600c9d3lk2-8gx-a683899.html

Power supply: (much quieter, multi-rail!)

DVD-Drive: (Saves 10 bucks)

Case: (Or Take the NZXT, that ain't bad)

You were right on the SSD though. Samsung Evo is the way to go!

That CPU will bottleneck your graphics card.
