looking at upgrading

[Bri62]

Hi all, not been on for some time and always come here for advice and info, i'm looking to upgrade September/November mainly for gaming (guildwars 2 starwars new up coming mmo's) and streaming/surfing
atm i have a i7 930 16 gig of corsair xms memory 580 gfx which is 2 and a half years old...... i think
Budget will be £2500 give or take and for this i would like a new monitor 27"+
Things i might be able to re-use, corsair 850w modular psu, Hard drives 7200 1tb
optical drive LG cheepo.
Thanks for any help
Brian

Thx for your input, looks a great build, its mainly for gaming (looking forward to x- rebirth) my problem is the last time i built/bought a system was almost 3 years ago and feel i have become detached from the tech.
I have a 1080p monitor atm albeit a 60hz so thought i would like the 1440p
Thanks again
Brian

To be fair you system still looks pretty good,

Have you got 2 x 580's?

If you want to read up on 120hz vs 1440p, theres a few good threads:

This comment caught my eye:
