Got £1,000 to spend, no more.

Need a full system, inc OS (64Bit), Case, PSU ect (monitor/keyborad/mouse not required).

Looking to play games such as GTA4, The SIms 3 ect

any ideas?

(I have free delivery).

Spec looks quite good but there is no way I would spend £230 on a GTX 285 when I you can get 2 factory overclocked Palit GTX260's for £240 which would be better.

To be honest I wouldn't change anything major.

I would use the Windows 7 RC and get a different case but that is always a bit of a personal choice.

Oh and the 260's but as said in the first response I think you would have to wait for the new ATi cards to be released to see what's on offer for a similar price.
