If it's a gaming system you could save some dosh by going for the i5-2500K.

The i7-2600K doesn't offer any extra performance in gaming. Its main benefit is in things like video encoding which may make use of the hyperthreading.
 
+1 on both of fowler002's suggestions - both great choices.

the modular version of the power supply is a little pricier but would be my choice. up to you if you think it's worth the extra :)

side note: if you would ever consider SLIing another 570 then the 750W may be a wiser choice
 
Uh oh I'm scared I'm going to blow it up, And £1000 is a lot for someone who is 14. Ive been saving all my birthday and Christmas money up for this PC! :P
So instead I'm getting this PC from overclockers: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-193-OE&groupid=43&catid=2040&subcat=

And these upgrades:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OEM
Choose Your Memory Choice:
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB 1600Mhz


Is this good? Or could you recommend me a system in a similar price range
 
that's a good spec if you want a prebuilt system. bear in mind that you can save some money (or get a better system for same price) if you buy the components individually and build the pc yourself. it isn't very hard - there are plenty of guides all over the internet.

that would be what i recommend, however if you're not comfortable with that then the spec you listed is suitable.
