Looks good to me 100% get a ssd maybe change to Carbide Series 400R case you would save some money & a 450w psu would be sufficient enough to power this if you're not looking to add a second gpu & would come to £945.00 inc VAT

I would look to save a little money on the case, drop the SSD and get a caviar black for your main drive - possibly just get 1 x 2 TB caviar black or atleast a 1TB caviar black for your os and a caviar green for your other drive. A 1k budget is a little low to be thinking about a ssd in my opinion, a caviar black is not a slow drive.

With he money saved thinking about a slightly better GPU - a 560ti makes all the differance but if possible a 570+ would be ideal

The processor will be fine, plenty of RAM and a slightly better GPU would polish it off perfectly.
