You may want to reconsider the drive, hybrids are not that good, only a small SSD part that is not big enough for the OS and the HDD is part is normal speed. The WD Black will give you less space at 750GB but is a fast (7200rpm) drive and very good. If you pushed your budget to 637 you could add a small m.2 SSD to this or add one later as an upgrade.

Hi slight few changes but have a look if you don't mind going £23 over budget.
