have £5,000 to make a scrypt miner

I need to buy the case, motherboard, ssd, harddrive, psu and gpus. what should i buy to get the best speed

Maybe drop the case.

why waste money on the HD and ssd? What counts is the GPU and the PSU... those are where the money should be stuck. Any POS cpu/mobo/ram can be corners cut in price... as long as they are compatible .

I am a professional miner and I boot all of my rigs from a network hard drive (thus saving expense). I also have none of my rigs in a box...  heat is your enemy!  Focus on GPU and compare the number of "shaders" the card has.  Divide the price by the number of shaders to get the most out of your money.

my humble opinion:
MOBO - ASRock 970 Extreme < has built in power switch and reset button < no case needed < room for 2 GPU's with large gap for air circulation between the cards < AMD3+ socket
CPU - AMD FX-8350 < 8 cores for CPU mining while you are GPU mining (dual mining)
RAM - 8g min
PSU - 1050w < you want your total rig to run at 85% of wattage capacity < My rigs with 2 GPU's and 1 CPU running full power use slightly less than .9kw/h
GPU - Radeon 7970 < hard to find right now due to Christmas and mining

Battery backup is critical...get largest capacity you can find...

I was looking to put about 10 gpus on the motherboard, don't know how though.

If you want to put on 10 GPU's on one board, get ready for a challenge!  If I were you, I would spend a few months mastering 2 cards on one board.  Once you have that under control, you can add more if you want.  I used to run 6 on a board at once, but I went back to:  2 cards, 1 CPU, 1 Power supply.  For me this was a decision about "manageability" more than it was about efficiency.  The only real cost advantage of 10 GPU / 1 MOBO is the cost of the board, which you will consume quickly with the pci extentions ribbons and daisy chaining the all of the power supplies together.  Then you have a MASSIVE amount of heat with which to  contend.
