£172.89
RAM:
Crucial Ballistix Triple Channel 3x2GB = 6GB

XFX HD 5850 XXX Edition 1GB Dual DVI HDMI Display Port Out PCI-E Graphics Card

Sound:
Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express - OEM
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129740
£43.63
Hard Drive:
(Mutant Corn's suggestion)
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173804
£59.99
(I'd be tempted to buy 2 for a RAID 1 config for protection in case of failure, but the price below doesn't reflect 2 of them)
DVD Burner:
(Mutant Corn's suggestion)
LiteOn IHAS124-19-
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176026
£17.86
Case + Power Supply:
(wol-va-rine's suggestion)
CM Storm Scout + Coolermaster Silent Pro 700W Modular PSU
£129.98
Operating System:
(Mutant Corn's suggestion)
OS- Windows 7 Home Premium Retail
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/168373
£94.99
Total comes to:
£1098.34
Mutant Corn's suggestion comes to:
£1024.93
With wol-va-rine's suggestion on case and power supply & Mutant Corn's build:
£1006.55
But my build with Mutant Corn's & wol-va-rine's choices would probably last slightly longer for updates (Slightly slower CPU, but this can be overclocked anyway, but 6GB RAM instead of 4), but I cannot 100% guarantee updates beyond the i7.
Plus if you really didn't want the sound card, and could do with the on board (though I don't recommend that), it'd save you £43 too from my build.
But I have to admit, I prefer Mutant Corn's choice on case. That shape looks pretty amazing
