My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £472.53

Something like this?
Case is a personal choice so will leave that to you.
If you are not happy with putting a MATX motherboard into a ATX case, the ATX version is here.

The CPU does come with a cooler and is apparently good for a mild overclock.

I went for the GameMax Silent in black. It's a nice understated design with front door and soundproofing. I'm a little over budget with that and the RAM, but I think it should be a decent system. I think I'll upgrade the R9 390 next, as this thing is noisy and pumps out a lot of heat.
Well, I got it built last night and it's great! Fast and quiet; exactly what I wanted.
I'll be reinstalling Windows 10, but I'm very impressed with how it handles itself when transferred directly into a new system. A few minutes of setting up devices and I was onto the desktop and firing up games and benchmarks.
I managed an easy 3.8 GHz overclock, but couldn't get the memory to run anything but 2133 MHz (it's rated at 3000 MHz) with the presets. I'll have to spend some time reading up and going through the advanced settings tonight.
