Have squeezed a 4770k in, changed the HDD for 2TB of space and knocked £30 off the SSD for a similar performing one. If write speeds to the SSD are not really needed you could get the Crucial 240GB for an extra £10 cheaper.

Changed the cooler as they're really good for the price, is RAM speed better or timings better? I included 16GB of fast RAM which is cheaper as well.
Knocked the GPU up slightly as well for the 270X.
