Thats the cheapest spec that does what you want, the CPU is on today only deal.

There is a Gainward GTX570 card that is £10 less, but its out of stock.
 
A 6950 2GB is a faster card than a GTX560/ti
You sure about that? As far as I know gpu wise both are pretty much on par, but the 6950 2GB had the advantage due to it extra VRAM. But the MSI GTX560Ti Twin FrozR 2GB the OP quoted above is pre-overclocked and also £15 cheaper than the decent branded 6950 2GB.
 
I looked a wider range of VGA gaming charts, also with the OP wanting BF3 I was looking at the BF3 thread in the graphics card section and the 1Gb cards do seem to be at a disadvantage..
The £199.99 MSI GTX560Ti Twin FrozR that OP quoted at #22 is 2GB, factory-overclocked to 900MHz and £15 cheaper than the 6950 2GB.

The MSI GTX570 is 243mm long, so if you see a case you like thats not listed above then just visit the case makers website and there will be dimensions of the maximum height cooler and GPU it can take either in the specs or the FAQ's.
 
Don't get me wrong, I don't think BD will stomp all over i5 2500K or 2600K, it will be interesting to see if they will be released in quantities enough for mass market or not.
But one thing I am counting on is to have an impact on the pricing!

Given the performance of Bulldozer I don't think you'll be seeing any price cuts from Intel.
