I wouldn't go half arsed on a PSU, go for the best quality so you don't have to get another one after a year or two. Plus warranty on Coolermaster is lovely.

Can somebody please explain the differences between Caviar blue, and black. Also the difference between Single Platter HDDs.

Blue is cheaper than black on OCuk...

That power supply is a terrible choice, as I said cooler master ain't got much going on in terms of PSUs. You're actually paying MORE for 80+ Bronze than you were for an 80+ Gold. Go for your previous power supply. You won't even need a warranty with it.

The case I will insist ain't that great, sure it looks cool but the case mrwoooooooo had is about 10x better since it's actually got some cable management stuff which will actually help with performance.

Caviar blue instead of caviar black, you're literally throwing money away.

The difference between Blue and Black is that the black has a two year longer warranty, it's basically a scam though as you're paying £30 for it, in three years time that £30 would buy a 2TB drive so it's not worth it.

The PSU he selected is WORSE quality than before.

Most PSUs don't die in 5 years, they don't exactly have moving parts.
