Basically for a grand you can have more fun that you wold at your local pub in 6 months. Expenditure is similar!

If things get slow just throw in another 570... or upgrade to 680gtx... Thats how smart I am!
 
My system upgrade (in sig) cost me less than a grand (OK, So I already had one of the GPUs)...

So, yes, congratulations on an "OK" system.
 
Over a grand and only 8GB of RAM. This is a pretty mediocre system. You're frittering away the budget on useless things that could be added at a later date. The key to a new build is to get the core components right, especially the motherboard. Don't blow 70 quid on a CD writer and 70 quid on a CPU cooler... add those a few months later.
