Hi

There are a few things I would change. What is your budget for the tower ? Would you like the option to add a 2nd 980 ti in the future ?

I've got £2000 but need to include a monitor in that too.

That Aerocool case in your build is not the best to be honest. I think it only has a single fan mount.
I would suggest something like the Phanteks Enthoo Pro, or if you want something more aggressive looking then check out the NZXT Noctis 450.

You will fit quite a lot on a 500GB SSD. If you feel you want the 1TB then swap it back.

SuperFlower 850W psu will allow for a 2nd GTX 980 ti later on.

The Alpenfohn cooler will do fine with the i5. It should easily match the H60 in performance.

You get a 5 year warranty on the Zotac gpu after you register it.

That looks pretty solid and hadn't considered the Dell monitor, cheers.
