This system would be better in every way, you should shop around on individual sites if you really want your Razer keyboard and mouse, as the prices on that comparison site are ripoff.

Honestly, with £1300, this is what I'd get;

The Pentium is good but with a larger budget, an i5or i7 would be more fitting. A CPU cooler will be beneficial if you decide to overclock the i5 and the kraken is a fantastic cooler. Z97 chipset for overclocking capabilities and upgradeability to an i7 if you desire. 8GB RAM is more than enough for gaming. You'll only need 16GB RAM if you do lots of heavy editing/rendering and even then, an i7 would be more beneficial than the extra RAM. Nice, large SSD to install your OS to for faster boot times. A 1TB HDD should be large enough for game installs, programs, media etc. The GTX 770 performs slightly better than the R9 280X for a slightly higher cost. The Enthoo Pro is a beautiful case at a great price. If you don't plan on using an optical drive(which there is really no need for now-a-days), you could check out the NZXT H440 or the new NZXT S340, here;

SeaSonic PSU's are great quality and 620W is more than enough for your build. It's also a fully modular PSU so nop need to keep unwanted or unneeded cables stashed in a spare 3.5" bay or somewhere in your case untidily. You can save £50 by getting Windows the free way if you wish but I added it to the build just in case. Great keyboard and mouse. I'd personally get an ultrawide monitor instead of dual or triple monitors. However, if you prefer, get 2 or 3 of these;
