What sort of things will you be using it for, cpu or gpu demanding, gaming, work, 3d modelling. Also is building yourself an option, because with £1000 you can build one a lot better than an advertised on for that budget. or build the same one for a smaller budget.

This is the one I built for myself a couple of months ago, it can run all the games I have including gta v on high to ultra settings with 60 plus fps. You can use this if you want, is there anything you will want changing such as you need more storage, don't need a wireless networking card or want an i7? I can change the list to match your preferences nceses all with in your budget if you get back to me. The case I mainly chose for the looks, but you can get a different one if needed.

Building your own computer is easy. Building it takes 2-3 hours, and installing windows takes about 30mins to 45mins, and after that downloading and installing drivers takes another 30-45 mins. After all that, have it download windows updates at night, it may take a 2-4 passes to get them all.

Protip for installing drivers safely, install them one at a time and restart the computer after each install to avoid breaking the OS, which can happen if you try to install them all at once.
