Do people think this is an okay set up for a bit of gaming and a bit of processor heavy work? Thanks.

Please can someone look at my proposed build and tell me if they think it sounds okay? This is my first build and I have tried to do my research. I believe a 500W PSU should be more than enough, but if this is wrong please correct me My budget is about £500 and I will be using it for some gaming (the new battlefront game, fifa, gta, etc.) and some computer simulations for my work (nothing too demanding). Thank you for any help you can provide.
