What website do you recommend for building a PC within the £1200 range?

It's for 3D design and rendering, if that changes anyones answers!

I've been looking at this site which looks pretty good: http://www.computerplanet.co.uk/
There's no way I'm going to build this thing myself, so advise much appreciated!

I could give you videos on building it yourself. You just need patience and a screwdriver really.

Wow, thanks for the bespoke and detailed specification! I was going for some similar components, apart from a Quadro K600, Corsair Vengeance 16GB and Asus SABERTOOTH Z87. I worked out that www.computerplanet.co.uk charge about 10% of component value, which I thought is reasonable. I also found that www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk didn't offer the components I was after, I have been looking to match a spec that a friend recommended: Intel core i7 3770k - Corsair DDR3 1600MHz - Quadro K600 1GB - Asus p8h77-m-atx - Samsung 840 Series 120GB. I have watched some videos of how to build a PC, but I think the extra bit of money to get it done professionally is worth it.

What would be the difference in performance if I was to go for either the Asus Z87-K or the Asus SABERTOOTH Z87? I am new to this, and would massively appreciate an explanation of how the motherboard affects the running of the machine and performance of the other components. Thank you in advance...
