Gaming PC £1000- £1200?

[Dusty85]

I am looking to build a gaming pc and wanted some advice on parts as I have no idea these days. My budget is £1200 I could be willing to stretch it a little for the right machine. Any suggestions?

Would a 120gb SSD be big enough?

I have 120GB for system, programs, music, photos and few games and still 40gb of free space, but if you want http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/4CsWr7

the other one an i7+1070. this build I would personally prefer as it is more balanced since I didn't try to squeeze in a 1080, with a better mobo, faster ram and the i7 does come handy at times:
