Looking at buying a new system and I was wondering if I could get some advice on what to include. Any advice would help, baring in mind no drastic changes can happen to the system due to budget.
I have some choices on parts could you suggest which parts would be necessary.

CPU - i5- 2500k - overclocked to 4.6ghz
or i5 - 3570k - Overclocked to 4.6ghz
or i7 - 3770 - retail clock speed

RAM - 8GB kingston hyperx beast dual 2400mhz
or 16GB kingston hyperx genesis 2133mhz

Graphics card - nVidia GTX 660 2GB
or nVidia GTX 660ti 2GB

PSU - Corsair 650w or 750w or 850w plus bronze

Cooling - This is only for if you suggest the i5
Corsair H40 or H60 or H80?

This is to be used for gaming such as GTA 5 (when released as I cant play GTA 4 on full specs on this laptop) World of Warcraft. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am spending a lot of money (to me) on this system.

Many thanks
Ryan

if you could remove the name of the place that you are buying it from please mate, its against forum rules to mention competitors.

guys here will spec you a amchine with in a budget but it will be from ocuk's shop and at thair prices.so may be different elseware
 
so your looking for absolutly everything for about £1100 mouse/keyboard monitor operating system?

should be a nice build.
 
No, the PC itself is £1100 (including OS), on top of that screen at £150 and maybe a good quality keyboard and mouse.

But of course, the less I spend to be able to have a decent computer the better

bump up the gpu if u have more $$$ to spend
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys, sorry I didn't say what I wanted. I really don't want an SSD as even though it may make boot up faster I find very little to do with the few seconds I save. Also I would like Windows 8 Pro. Another thing is I don't trust myself to build my own PC as knowing me I will make a catastrophic error.

Thanks though! If you have any other suggestions then great :) Much appreciated
