£1500 Gaming Computer + Monitor and Keyboard

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade from a gaming laptop to a proper computer. I have a large budget and am really looking for something that is easy to upgrade but will perform on max in Crysis 3. At the bottom is the list of current parts and the links to buy them. Thank you, Stanley.

Approximate Purchase Date: When ever AMD release the 8970, however I do not expect any other components to change, so there is no need to treat the rest of the build as if it will change.

Budget Range: No more than £1500 after shipping.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Photoshop, Video Editing and Rendering, Web Browsing.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes. Details below.

Parts to Upgrade: Nothing apart from the mouse and mouse mat is being re-used.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes.

Location: London, United Kingdom.

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU and whatever CPU is currently the best for around £300-400

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire:No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: FC3, AC3, BF3, Crysis 3 and pretty much every game with a three in it I would like to be able to play on maximum settings.
