You can cut down a bit as some of your options (secondary M.2, PSU, cooler) are probably overkill; more moderate choices would probably save around £125.

My biggest concern would be the motherboard. It's fine, but I'd want something a bit stronger for this system. Unfortunately it's the only board that'll fit in this case. I'd personally not want to sacrifice potential performance for a particular case, but that's got to be your choice.

Finally, I'll say that this system is a bit ridiculous for WoW and LoL, which are both very easy games to run. If that's all it's for, you could save a lot by going for a lower tier CPU and potentially other savings too.
