Recommend gaming spec?

I am looking for a gaming PC that will last me 4-5 years before needing an upgrade, I know they won't last 4-5 years in high/max settings but I'm fine with playing on low/medium in the last year or two =]. I am more of an intel + NVidia person, even though I have put I want a gaming PC, I may want to stream footage in the future so I'm unsure if to go with I7 or I5, also what is better, 2x4gb ram or 1x8gb? If I want to upgrade to 16gb ram in the future won't 1x8gb be the way to go?
Anyway my budget is £1100-£1200 but of course the cheaper the better ;), I won't get it until at least April/May time but I just want to get an idea of specs first. When I say I want to upgrade, I might want to upgrade to an 800 series GPU when they come out later this year or early next year.

Thanks in advance =]

**Also I will not be doing any overclocking and the monitor I will be using is a 27" 1080p 60Hz monitor/TV.**

Since princes could change and more things could be released you may want to post closer to when you are ready to purchase. For your budget right now I would go an i6-4670 and the gtx 780.

Thanks, yeah that would be a good idea as I read somewhere there are a few conferences with a few things being announced late March.
