I haven't looked in much detail, but the Gaming X is one of Gigabyte's lower models and you can buy an Aorus at OCUK for similar money (admittedly, white), which I would expect to have superior specs.

Not all CPUs are able to run 6400 optimally, so it is safer to go with 6000, though you could just manually lower the frequency if necessary.

These CPUs can be cooled with a peerless assassin/phantom spirit if you'd prefer not to spend that much.

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £709.87 (includes delivery: £7.99)​
 
Thanks for the input. I've added that RAM, probably still keeping the AIO cooler and the sapphire mobo is preorder, so looking for something similar in stock. I don't need WiFi, a mad overclock or a silly amount of usb's or SSD, just something that works well.
