Couple questions:

Any bottlenecking components there?
Do you advise buying any HDD Caddies for cooling or is the case good enough?

Any other recommendations on the rest of the build I gotta get?

Thanks guyz

This cooler won't fit on the i7 socket, it's for the previous generations of intel CPU's and also AMD.

Gainward GeForce GTX 295 1792MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GW-GTX295-1792) £477.24

I'd go for a 4870x2, pretty much the same performance, but for a lot less money.

You don't need a 1000W PSU, way too much for that rig. Something around 700W will be enough, zalman, coolermaster, be quiet are all recommended
