How could I reduce this systems price by £100 without giving up too much performance

[Valkyrieneos]

Dont remove the Speakers, Monitor, Keyboard, Headset or Mouse. How could I get the cost down by £100 without giving up too much.

Why did you pick a z series motherboard if you have a locked CPU? I'd say you can easily cut price by going for cheaper keyboard and audio hardware you chosen

And if you put a non modular psu, youll save even more.

 

[Onus]

Ditch the cooler, since you didn't get an unlocked CPU for overclocking. You can also get a smaller (e.g. 550W) PSU, likely also better than the Corsair, such as a Seasonic-built XFX.
You might shave more by looking for a H97 motherboard.
But, unless you have one already, you may wish to add a 1TB hard drive.

 

[USAFRet]

Won't really change the price, but a single 256GB drive is a bit slim if that is the 'only' drive.
Get a 128GB SSD, and a 1TB HDD.

As above, the mismatch between CPU and motherboard might find some money saving.

I dont use a lot of storage but do you still think its essential? I litteraly save nothing apart from a few programs here and there

What do you think so far? Is this psu good or not? I would like modular for better cable managment

Could you reccomend any good cases with good airflow?

Is it worth going getting windows 7 instead of windows 8?

No real price difference.
All depends on which UI you like the best.

I like the windows 7 better but will it be bad to buy a lower version of windows for a new pc? Will windows 7 still be supported?

Win7 gets extended support until 2020. Mainstream support ends in 2015.
But Win8 will have support for future versions of DirectX.

Ill get the windows 8 then sounds like the better option for it. Thankyou for clearing that up
