I am close to purchasing some upgrades and I was hoping for some feedback on some components before I buy.

First of all, here is my current set up:

Code: 
Phenom II 550 ( Unlocked to 4 core @ stock )
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler
Asus M4A7TD-V EVO 
4GB Crucial DDR3
ATI 5770
300GB HD
400W Corsair PSU
Cheap crappy case

Budget: £600 - £700

What I need:

Case
PSU ( I am looking to Crossfire in the future so would like reliability and overhead )
Hard-Drive

Here is what I have been looking at :

I am eligble for free delivery so that cuts the cost down a fair bit too.

Main uses: Gaming, web browsing, programming.

Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanks!

Ideally I was going to go for the modular 750w however OcUK have none in stock! :(

I was also hoping for a 700D.

A 700D is a good water cooling case, if your keeping with air cooling then you have made the better choice.

Your motherboard only supports single gpu configurations, and even if you ever upgrade that will you ever want more than one gpu? a good 650w PSU will power any single card configuration and other parts including a strong overclock, so you could get one of these.

That makes perfect sense. Is the Antec PSU good quality? It seems really cheap in comparison to the other brands however I am not complaining! :D
