So I've decided to bite the bullet and build my first pc this summer
I want to spend a fair amount on it (Roughly in the region of £1000) and was wondering if you could check out these components and give me some advice.
I need it to be able to handle current games such as GTA V/The Witcher 3:Wild Hunt etc

Thank you all so much

Components: Link contains competitor names/prices etc.
 
Hi and welcome.

I have removed that due to it breaking forum rules.

But you want this down to £1000?

What resolution is your monitor?
 
I can show you £1K and the 970 includes two free games and will be fine at 1080P resolution.

You can obviously mix+match quite a bit.

Have a look at RJC post above and he has a link at the bottom to the basket app to help display items like this.
 
Recommendations, Stulid has it on point. i7-4790k mobo bundle is the way to go and 970 is plenty at the moment, though there will be new cards released next month if you're fine waiting. MSI 970 is one of the best ones, though the Gigabyte G1 is just as good. A few quid more, doesn't feature fanless mode without some fiddling (software side), but the fans are said to be quiet and it does great in overclocking.

Those Phantecs Enthoo Luxe and NZXT H440 cases also have a separate box for the PSU so non-modular PSUs should be fine. Might be able to get a better one for roughly the same cost and IMO 850W is overkill for that build. Question, would you be overclocking the CPU? If so, I'd recommend a high-end air cooler like the Noctua NH-D15.
