Do you have any sata hdds and a dvd-rw you can reuse. What Gpu do you have at the moment. What about a case. Do you have an OS, if so, 32 or 64bit.

But you do need a strong PSU. IMO, save another £150 to be meaningful. Or go i3 + Z77, and save for a GPU and PSU. You may get some money back selling the guts, about £50-60, so enough for a PSU, but you are still short for a decent GPU.
