Note that Windows 7 doesn't support Direct X 12, so you might want to switch to Windows 10. It's really not that bad.. Plus Windows 7 stops getting security updates in 3 years and I assume you'll want to keep using this PC for more than 3 years.

You could invest what you save into the Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3 motherboard for more connectivity options and features (more sata ports, more USB ports, more USB 3.1 options, SLI support, better onboard audio) for only £24.

You could ditch the 850 Evo SSD in favour of the SM961 SSD available under the "M.2 SSD drive" menu for a few more £.

You might also not be aware that Kaby Lake, a slightly faster version of Skylake, is coming out imminently. You may want to cancel and hold off.

Thank you for your input I will look into these changes, thanks for the reply and input. The only issue I have with windows 10 is there is still quite a few bugs I had when running it before so intill I hear a bit better about it I don't think I will go for it as I had windows 8.1 for ages I don't mind that as much however windows 10 I do mind

What bugs? Rock solid since I bought my laptop near 18 months ago.

Rock solid on the wife's Lenovo X1.

Rock solid on my old man's aging Dell XPS

You get the idea.

Internet browser didn't work properly kept crashing and freezing was a known bug for windows 10 when I was using it the ui is terrible don't like it for the amount of bugs I know of in windows 10 I don't get the point of upgrading just for direct x 12 support I am going to leave my pc specs the same for know and see how I get on as it should do me for now and if I need it upgrading at a later date will get pcs to do it for me
