Is this a good spec, this is for a budget around £600

Any suggestions/improvements are more than welcome this will be used as a casual gaming PC.
 
Get a better PSU. I'd recommend an EVGA unit, better internals and better overall quality.
 
Not pre built, just some parts i put together that looked fairly good.

ill take a look at a better PSU, just wasn't sure what's the best make for PSUs

Tried to keep the bigger SSD as it will last longer what with modern games taking up loads of disk space, add a HDD later.

Or,

bgrade R9 280 - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-428-GI&groupid=595&catid=683
 
In terms of the price around the GTX 960, is that the best GPU?

I can stretch the budget to around 700, if its worth the extra money.

AZ R9 280 is still a very capable gfx card for 1080P gaming.

Its roughly GTX960 speeds I would have thought, what with the 380 being based on the R9 285.
