My First Build

Hi guys, this is my first attempt at building a computer. I have a budget of around £500, I want to be able to run recent games on high settings but I can compromise. This is the list of components I have found. I was just wondering if anybody had any advice.

Get this RAM, you only have 1 stick of 8gb running at 1333MHz. Its much better to run 2x4gb and this runs a 1600MHz. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B008LTJJM2/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
Also here's a 1tb hard drive for only a few pounds more but its up to you whather you thing the extra space is worth it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0088PUEPK/?tag=pcp0f-21

Also i would not recommend that power supply. It's better to go with an 80+ Bronze certified power supply. This means you know that it is good quality and will better protect your computer from power surges ect. Heres a good one http://www.cclonline.com/product/62301/P1-550S-XXB9/Power-Supplies/XFX-Pro-550W-Power-Supply-Unit/PSU0246/?siteID=8BacdVP0GFs-RdcAGc01rJhZgzuJUgyw8w

Thank-you for the feedback, I've chosen the RAM you suggested. As far as storage is concerned, although it isn't much more expensive, I don't feel I require a 1tb HDD. I appreciate the quick reply, too!
