Gaming pc budget = 1-1.5k

As title can someone give me a spec to suit my budget of £1k-£1.5K.

I would like to include at least a blu ray reader (for ripping) in the spec and would like soundcard, speakers, mouse and keyboard omitting since I have some Logitech Z10 speakers and will be using headphones for the majority of late night gaming sessions. I got a mouse I like and i'll look for a keyboard later.
It will be used for fps games and blu ray and I need a monitor also.
If I can get away with 1k to play all the latest stuff then thats good but I guess future wise it aint gonna last long so can perhaps stretch to 1.5K.

Thanks in advance.

thanks for that icey_haj, anyone else got any opinions on a build. The things that worry me about the above are the Asus mobo, the case, the psu and the monitor.

Well i suppose I was looking at this bundle here since it would save some time with fettling the oc and allow my lazyiness to shine through. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-051-OE&groupid=701&catid=339&subcat=1393

I just didnt know if the psu was powerful enough or doesnt that matter so much since i aint gonna be using an nvidia sli setup?

Airflow and dustfilters in the case, good enough?

Monitor, just didnt know if i should go for 1920 x1080 rather than 1200.
