OK, taking on board what you've both said, the changes I've made are:
Switch to a cheaper motherboard and stick with DDR3 RAM,
Switch to 120gb SSD (I've got a 3TB external too already).
I won't bother with a GPU for a long time if ever, and I shouldn't have included the soundcard here, it's the onboard option anyway, can't take it off.
What do you guys think about the power supply?
At the moment it's a Corsair 550W to future proof if I do ever decide to put a modest GPU in, is that overkill too?
With the current setup 350W is fine, but I assume adding any GPU would push that over, 450W is also an option.

Yes 550watts is enough.
With that you can easily run your CPU and a GPU like the RX 480, which would make it a very capable gameing pc.
DDR4 isnt really that big of a thing (for gameing atleast).
120gb is more than plenty for windows, just make it a point to always install games on your other HDD, ei makes "games" folder and install things there.

I'd probably have it dual booted with Linux and Linux as the primary partition, so something like 80/40 split. Can you install games on an external HDD? Sorry if noob question.
