A few changes,

• The case doesnt need any extra fans added really, it comes with three as standard.
• 2GB Vram 7850, it's Bgrade so has 90day warranty with OcUK and the remainder with GBT themselves.
• Better cooler that can take a second fan for push/pull.

You could also try Win8 free for 3 months, then decide on an OS to buy after.

Indeed, that's a pretty nice build for just over £800. I'd recommend that to the OP, I can't really come up with a better idea.
