Advice needed - Cube Aim SL 29

Hello,
I'm pretty much a complete novice when it comes to the understanding of which bike has the best spec. I have been reading plenty of buying guides and forum posts to help gain a greater understanding but at the end of the day I would still feel more comfortable getting opinions from way more informed people on a specific bike I've been looking at.
Quick run down on what I am looking to do and my budget. I am 6ft 5in so frame size needs to be right and have a budget up to £500 max. I predominantly will use this new bike for the commute to work as well as some light trails over the coming weekends nothing too heavy (crazy downhills, jumps etc.)
I've been looking at the Cube Aim SL 29 on the site Tredz. The price is around £450 and they are currently running a deal where if you spend over £500 you can get £75 off so my thinking is get some lights, mudguards and other accessories to get the discount but just need some advice on if the spec is suitable for what I require.
