First thing to note is either most people here are idiots or don’t read posts- I’m assuming the second option is true but you never know…
Tapley has clearly stated he has a two stick kit of DDR3…that means it doesn’t work so well with i7, which likes three sticks of ram. Therefore, ignore the idea of getting an i7 system, with the extra cost of ram I doubt it would be worthwhile.
Some nice suggestions, just a shame not everyone read the original post :(.

i7 is so pointless now anyway, people only buy it because it was so big when first released, i5 should be the new i7, but nobody but techies/nerds/large black men care

OT:
I’m pretty sure the large, black techie, nerdmen care.
I may cut my losses and sell my ram and just buy –

Seems like a good deal?
Then i’d go for what johnny suggested with:
Asus ATI Radeon HD 5850 1024MB http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-215-AS
Or 2x Asus ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-219-AS ?
The clock speeds look similar so not sure why one is 2x as expensive?
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXUK) £76.99
Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case – Black £42.99
As its probably going to be the last gaming pc i buy that should last me a good few years?

I would choose the cheapest Asus motherboard, since you dont plan on clocking.
I cant give you an full editorial of why the 5850 is twice as expensive. But it pretty much boils down to performance. It could be argued that the 2×5770 is a better bang for buck, I think in the long run it would be better to have the possibility to crossfire another 5850. The choke (not sure if this is the right term) on gamingrigs tend to be the gfx.
Are you settling with the AMD cpu now?
You might want to measure up the 5850 to be a 100% sure it fits in the antec. Antec should from what I hear be a good case choice, if a bit small.
This should last you 2-4 years(at least with another 5850), given that you dont expect to run Crysis 4 with a 100+ framerate.
