Gaming PC - £1000

The Antec and Corsair PSUs are both decent and should be fine for 570 SLI.

Review of GTX 570 SLI here:

GeForce GTX 570 in 2-way SLI

A second card requires you to add another ~225 Watts. You need a 750+ Watt power supply unit if you use it in a high-end system (800+ to a KiloWatt is recommended if you plan on any overclocking).

Ok so my basket as it stands right now is-

EVGA GeForce GTX 570 SuperClocked 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor with FREE Lost Planet 2 PC Game - Retail

Asus P8P67 PRO Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard - (Sandybridge)

Corsair HX 750W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-750HXUK)

OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive (OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G)

GeIL 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz VALUE PLUS Dual Channel (GVP38GB1600C9DC)

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-00599)

Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black

Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD103SJ)

LiteOn IHAS324-32 24x DVD±RW ReWriter SATA - (Black) Retail

Total - £1,203.29

Is the price difference between the EVGA graphics card and ASUS graphics card not worth the performance difference?

Looks good, hmm price on the Asus has gone up from £306 to £320, i suppose its upto you im not sure how much more performance that pre-oc'd evga will give, not that much of a difference in price now. But you could always overclock the Asus one.
 
You also don't need the 8gb of ram just for gaming. 4GB is more than enough. Anything more is only useful if you're video editing etc.
