Hi all,
So, I've got a bit of spare cash knocking around and would like to build a new PC. As it stands I have a budget of £1500, and I want to make a system for gaming. The budget can be increased provided the extra cost is worth it. The games I play include the assassins creed series, games from the Grid series, plus the odd MMO.
Components i have looked at so far include:
Nvidia GT970 (https://www.asus.com/uk/Graphics_Cards/STRIXGTX970DC2OC4GD5/)
WD black 2TB HDD (http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/wd-black-2tb-35-inch-sata3-hard-drive-a22nf)
Sandisk 128gig SSD (http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/sandisk-128gb-pulse-ssd-drive-a47lk)
Corsair 850watt power supply (http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/corsair-rm850-fully-modular-80-gold-quiet-pc-power-supply-a59lw)
Coolermaster HAF XM ATX PC case (http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/coolermaster-haf-xm-atx-pc-case-black-n32nu)
Firstly I'm not sure if those are the best components to use (and I haven't really shopped around for them yet), plus I'm not sure which motherboard, RAM or CPU to use. CPU wise I'm looking at getting an i7, but I'm not sure which one. Plus I ideally need a MoBo with integrated wireless to connect to my wifi (or a suitable wireless adapter, but I'd prefer to steer clear of a separate component for it), and I would like one that I could upgrade to SLI in future. Another thing I'm not sure about is the cooling system (which fans to use and the number of them).
Any advice or recommendations are welcome, I've already bought my OS (windows 8.1) so there's no need to worry about that. Ideally I would like a system that I can easily upgrade in the future (i.e. one that I wont need to cut holes into like my current machine).
Thanks,

P.s. I'm fairly new to system building so any advice in that area would be much appreciated, the most complex thing I have done to my machine is change the GPU and add a fan.
