So here's what I'm planning to build myself. Does everything look ok? I want it to be cheap and small (hence this case).
Intel Core i5-6600 3.30GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 - £176.99
ASRock H170M-ITX/DL - ~£81 (had to choose this one as it's the only mini-ITX H110/H170 w/ DDR4 on the market, at least i haven't found any others)
MSI GeForce GTX 950 OC 2048MB GDDR5 - £119.99
TeamGroup Elite 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz - £41.99 (the cheap 2133MHz option isn't available on OCUK, I assume 2400 will work just fine?)
Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB SSD 2.5" - £64.99
Toshiba (7K1000.D) 1TB SATA 6GB/s 32MB - £35.99
Raijintek Metis - Black Mini ITX Case - £35.99
Seasonic S12II 350W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply - £31.99 ('cause it's on offer, I assume 350W will be enough to power this machine, let me know if I should get a 450W one)
Total: £591
A few questions and remarks:

A few questions and remarks:
- Will everything fit?
- Will the processor package contain thermal paste which I need to apply before installing the heatsink/cooler?
- Do I need to buy a power plug/cable separately? Are there any other cables I will need to buy?
- I will use it to play GuildWars 2, so processor is more important than video. I also have no plans to upgrade it.
