I have roughly £1200 to spend on a new computer built for pure gaming. £1200 is around $2000, preferably from a UK retailer or someone who delivers free in the UK, such as Amazon or PCWorld. I already have the peripherals and the OS I need, so it's just hardware i'm in need of.
I'm terrible at choosing computer components that actually work side-by-side with each other.

£970, you can replace the case with whatever one you want (personally, I'd go with a 650D or Fractal XL on that budget), I just chose a case most people like
so I don't get shouted at, you can also get 8gb ram (you won't see a performance difference in games today though) and an alternative asus/msi motherboard if you really want too, I just prefer the aesthetics of the gigabyte,
Save the rest for future upgrades.
Scan.co.uk is usually the go to shop for UK hardware components, you can sometimes get better deals
at ebuyer, cclonline (especially if you live near one of their stores), novatech, ariapc, overclockers (heard they have quite bad customer service though).

As someone who has had to return an item, this simply isn't true

As someone who has returned 3 items, this is true.

Still prefer the gigabyte just because it's one sexy motherboard, but you can't go wrong with UEFI really (although Gigabyte have a pretty decent HEFI).
And SLI 570's on load only use 410w so 750w (744w on the 12v rail on the XFX) won't be an issue even with overclocking, but I suppose he has the budget he may aswell get the 850.
