@ coman HD
your spec looks best, the raedon is a great card, but if you want 3 d go nvidia
also unless you are overclocking, drop the processor to the I52500 and drop the cooler to the copper triplepipe
it may, however, if you want to future proof it, be best to get an I72600 (more cores you see)
hope I helped, if you have any questions just ask

You are right about the 7970 giving you better FPS, (maybe people didn't choose this for you in their builds as it is hard to keep the rig under £1k with it).
The new GTX680 is just recently out/released, and is cheaper than the 7970 when I last checked, but is giving a lot better benchmark performance results. So if you are happy to spend enough to get the 7970, I would recomend getting the GTX680 instead.
In answer to your question, I recomend playing on a friend's PS3 or one setup in a high-street store somewhere (providing they are using HD cables and HD TV), and see if you are happy with the quality and gameplay. If the answer is yes, and there are no paticular 'PC only' games that you are interested in, then maybe for you personally it is not worth forking out £800~ more for a PC.
