Perfect build, can't say anything against it.

this is slightly over your £600 limit, but it includes a 7950 and a 128GB SSD for a boot drive. the 6300 is not quite as powerful as the 3470, but still plenty of juice for any gaming, and includes overclocking capability. If needed to bring it back under 600, drop the Hyper 212 EVO, which will remove the ability to overclock.
