Please check out the link above and tell me if you think there is a better set up for the money.

I'm REALLY desparate for a 1440p monitor so if you know a cheaper, better one, than the one i chose please TELL ME. Also I really want SSD storage rather than hard drive storage. I will be using the computer for video editing, 3D rendering and light gaming. My budget is about £1500 but could push to £1700.Thanks.
