I'd change to Intel, sell your 560Ti (or keep it). If you do sell it for say I dunno....£80? Add that to the spare from the £500. Or don't change the 560Ti and get a small SSD for Windows.
 
This spec is suitable for single Gpu.
If you decide you want to go SLI, then you need a sli capable mobo and a bigger Psu. Both of which, will cost more money.
So you need to decide which route you want to go, before you buy anything.

Or just upgrade monitor,Psu and get an ssd. Sell your Gpu and invest in something better. But i would not pay £170+ for another 560ti. If you want to sli your 560, get one secondhand, as that would be a better investment. I have sli 560ti and don`t see any need to upgrade.

Then sell your AMD processor, Mboard , PSU and Ram

hopefully get over £100 atleast for them , then buy a nice 128 gb ssd

i'd keep 560ti for now, not a bad card and will play anything out atm. but then when you have moneys again, upgrade gfx card.
 
Thanks for the great answers guys i think i will keep with my 1 560ti atm then untill 700 series comes out as somebody said can play any current game

go with 3570k+mobo sell my current board and cpu on eaby and buy a psu :)

Ram does not really matter too much is cheap at the moment so can get than another time :)

Only question is the cpu heatsink dunn put in batter than the one i already got?

As for monitor that should leave me some behind to get one with :)

No, yours is.

If you can buy the Psu in his spec now, you will have a really GOOD one at a bargain price.
