Buying a gaming PC for under £900

I'm moving accommodation so I've decided to buy a new PC.
I've had my current PC for around 3.5 yrs and while I managed to fix it when it went funny 18 months ago (I finally worked out that it was a rogue graphics driver rather than a hardware issue) it's beginning to show its age.
I'm looking for something that can easily play the latest games such as Inquisition, but can also be used for a bit of light video editing (as well as the usual email and Office).
Any recommendations - I'm technically incompetent so I'd be useless at trying to build one from scratch.

CPU, GPU and SSD. Only need to worry about potentially upgrading these guts not building a whole new PC.
Most innovations in last few years are more around mobile: energy efficiency and performance per watt rather than pushing the latest performance barriers.
If you have a 'K' unlocked CPU you can try overclocking this also for more performance gains.
