I would get a GTX 970/980 if it fits the budget
an i5-4670k with a 212 EVO cooler. ... or i5-4690k you might want a bigger cooler for this one.
An ASUS Z97-PRO motherboard.
8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD and a 128 GB SSD
a SeaSonic 620w Power supply and any case you like for example a corsair 500R
That would still be lesser than 1000 pounds, I think

You people just look at the GPU, and a computer is much more than the GPU. All of your builds had overpriced GPUs in them. Only a 4k display needs those overpriced cards. It's much better to buy a £150-£200 GPU every 2 years than buy a £300-£400 GPU and keeping it for 4 years because you have no money to upgrade.
However, the other things in computers last a very long time, like the case, power supply, CPU fan, memory and storage and even the CPU itself (minimal improvements have been made since sandy bridge). I just know where to put my money for maximum efficiency, and the OP appreciated that.

4690k vs i7 4790k there is very little difference when gaming, but from 280 to 970 there is a huge difference. If you ever needed an i7, you can get the i7, but unless you are doing video editing/editing in general, there is little chance that the i5 will be doing badly. Also, you would be getting extra ram anyway. For gaming, an i5 4690k + gtx 970 is far better than an i7 4790k with an r9 280
Also, people look at the GPU the most because it usually makes the biggest difference. They never recommend i7 for gaming (unless on a huge budget) because there is nearly no point. So apparently, you don't know where to put your money for the most efficiency.

It is apparent that you are not familiar with how a gaming rig should be built. The OP gave a substantial budget and you put together a system that would do worse in games than my 2yr old, i5 3570k ,system, because of the weaker GPU. :lol:
