My parents are finally letting me upgrade my pc and i have been given a budget of about £600 I can go over a little and i was wondering if there are any prats that would be better to get but cheaper? this is the list of parts I have chosen at the moment; http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/pFP76h
I already have a few parts that i can reuse from my old PC. I have a 500gb hard drive at the moment and im not sure whether to get an ssd of just keep the hard drive. Thanks in advance:)

The Z87 isnt entirely necessary, but its got all the features and is well priced.

The i5 is better than the 8350, 1600mhz ram rather than 1333, better psu etc
