Did you mean to stick a 6600K in there instead of the 6500?

No.

IMHO the budget is better spent on a good GPU (i.e. GTX 1070) than a higher-clocked CPU, especially when overclocking isn't factored in.

I think if you're not getting a 6600K, a Z170 is pointless. The MSI B150 is only €90, which saves you €30.
Get the PSU from somewhere else, €144 is NOT worth it when Amazon.co.uk has it for €100. K.O Kiki's build is solid, but there are places here and there to save you money for a nice 1440p screen. I know it's not meant to be lart of the budget, but money saved is money to be used elsewhere!

WTF I didn't even realise the PSU had shot up in price again!

Wow! Thanks for all the help, i know i said not to included the monitor, mouse, keyboard etc into the pricing but could one of you be able add them in please.

Also, i know this is a stupid question but i'm completely new to this stuff, could someone tell what a card reader and a wireless car reader is, thanks!

Card readers are for reading SD Cards (from cameras/phones) and alike.

Wireless card is for connecting to Wifi.
