How much money are you looking to knock off?

You could skimp a bit more on the PSU because you don't quite need 500W but I don't like the idea - it limits your ability to upgrade. You could go with a cheaper motherboard for sure but there's not much to save there. You could drop the RAM amount but I doubt you'll save much there. You could drop the processor quality but there's not much to be saved there either.

Really dropping the price would probably come with a significant drop in quality. You could get it $150-$200 lower but it depends on what you're looking to do and if you want to upgrade this system in the future or just scrap the whole thing when you get to that point and buy a new rig.

i was hoping to upgrade it in the future i really only want to save about £25 or 30

you can get rid of the z170 board due to no having an overclockable chip, unless that is one with the bios update for block clocking, otherwise maybe an i3 and block clock it, you could shift the money to a better gpu as well in that case, that's pretty bare bones as is though.
