Also people are telling me i need more SSD? Should i go about buying more? Cheers
 
the 2tb drive would probably be useful for storing media files etc, then you can use all the ssd for programs.
 
Ignore him a 1TB SSD is plenty of space for OS/Programs/Games, if you find you need more storage for Pictures/Music/Movies etc just chuck in the 2TB HDD you have.
 
CPU/Heatsink requires thermal paste, if buying the retail cpu SKU the heatsink already has this attached, although it never hurts to have a spare tube lying around, in case you need to reseat the heatsink or clean it.

Edit: To Clarify, the cooler master should come with some, but get some of your own. When buying the intel retail cpu package, the thermal paste is attached to the heatsink and not moveable. Overclockers seems to be recommending the Thermal Grizzly brand at the mo.

Honestly you really don't need an 850w psu for that build,If it were me I would go with a

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/super-flower-leadex-platinum-650w-fully-modular-80-plus-platinum-power-supply-black-ca-041-sf.html

Still a bit more than you need but a much better quality psu and a bit cheaper at that. For the money you would save on the psu you could get a https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-ph-tc12dx-cpu-cooler-black-hs-012-pt.html

So for around the same money or less you're getting a better psu and better cooler.

A 1tb ssd is plenty, however for that money and if possible I personally would run x2 500gb ssd's in raid if they cost around the same.But ultimately if you choose the 1tb ssd and keep the 2tb mechanical drive for music,movies etc you will have more than you need.
