So I will be building my first gaming PC very soon and i'm pretty much ready to order parts. Budget is around £800 and I'm going to use it for games running 1080p 60+FPS on high settings. I would just like to double check with you guys if this is a nice build, thanks a lot!

fairly solid list.

I made a couple adjustments: a slightly different Mobo, dual-channel Memory, and a cheaper find on the 8 GB RX480:

You can find the CXM UK version for £60.98 instead of that £67.8 listing.
Parts are selected for Black/Red.

Sandisk SSDPlus is a DRAMless drive which mean that it's less reliable than one that does have DRAM cache. Toms review of the DRAMless bunch:

And unless you're going for CFXing, RX480 4GB RAM is the better pick compare to the 8GB version.
