What's your budget? Would you be opposed to building a computer yourself? You get a ton more value and control over your build that way.
Is it that hard?
No experience but my dad did fix computers back in the day, budget of bout £600 for everything. If it's too less I can save up for another 2-3 months as i'm doing investments over short periods.

Not really. Pretty much just follow some tutorials on YouTube to the word and it'll be a breeze. Below is my favourite tutorial, but I think Newegg, Tek Syndicate and Linus Tech Tips have probably done some good ones as well. Stay away from the IGN tutorial as it's... just... so... bad.

If you're really keen to get it below £600, take out the SSD and reduce the Gigabyte 7950 to a Gigabyte 7870.
Also it's really up to you regarding CPU. For £20 more you can get a comparable Intel i5-3570k, however that would also increase the price of whichever motherboard would be required along with that.
This hard drive is also good for recording to, in case you'd ever want to do that.
