HELP: Future proof(ish) Gaming PC for around £1000

[phreak2004]

Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as possible please 😍

Budget Range: £1000 (£1200-ish if it really makes a difference)

System Usage: Gaming on ultra settings, 3D animation renderering, video and image editing

Parts to Purchase: Full system and monitor (not Operating System)

Location: Cornwall, England

Additional Notes:
I can put the parts together myself though I don't really know what the latest piece of awesomeness is or if it's just a glorified piece of plastic.

I need help making it as future-proof (upgradable in the semi-distant future and high quality) as possible within my budget.

Thanks for your time.

Money saving alternative (CPU similar to i7 but can't be overclocked so no reason to buy CPU Cooler either):
