what's your budget, and by whole system do you mean monitor/keyboard/mouse/operating system ?

Sorry should have said what I am after spec for is as follows.
Case, Asus Rog board, Cpu, Cpu cooler, Ram, Psu which must be moduler and pref corsair, graph card, ssd op drive, hdd for other files.
All for around £1000 mark give or take £100.

Got a rough idea in my mind just after some other input.

This would be my gaming system my current system is going into the folding business.

Also should be fairly future prof.

what's the system likely to be used for.

to give you a rough idea, slightly over your 1k budget, depends on what you want as to whether you sacrifice the ssd for a better gfx card, if you don't plan to use sli then drop the psu to a 650/750 model.

without losing the ssd, changing the 560ti to a 570 raises the cost to £1,130.
