This would do nicely & it's pretty much the same cost as the build you've chosen but much better for gaming.

It will handle all those games better then you hoped but I made a few changes, i7 is overkill for anything under 1440p and even then it wont help too much there it's only useful in streaming and editing that sort of thing. no point in a Z97 if the cpu is locked and there isnt much gain from the 4330 so I toned that down. Just go with a TB only £4 more. Good psu choice and finally got the 280x in there.

That MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB over there for just £140 is a bargain. imho anyway...
