Atm this is what I was thinking don't know what SSD,RAM,PSU or CPU Cooler to go with. Already have 2x2TB hard drives for storage so don't need any more.
Have around £2000 budget. The only thing that is 100% is the case, carry on the build/build another for 2k budget just interested on what people come up with for that price. Thanks.
 
Sorry should have put this in, don't need an OS,keyboard or mouse. Used mainly for games a bit of video editing and I store a lot of music, movies. Hence the 2x2tb I already have.

if your not looking/thinking about sli'ing the 680 graphics the psu can be reduced to 600/650.

mobo wise the Gigabyte Z77X-D3H (ivybridge socket) is around £104, unless you need specific things on the mobo it doesnt have, so either/both could be done to make up the difference on the i7 3770K ivybridge.

Sorry have been painting all day and only just finished, damn thing needed 3 coat's. I did end up ordering what I last posted with a few little changes, as a friend of mine had 2 of the Benq XL2420T monitors and didn't need one so I got it rather cheap. Got an extra 68gb SSD Crucial M4 as well for just OS, will use other for just games. Also got some other little bits not worth mentioning.

Will be definitely sli'ing in a month maybe two so gotta keep the psu and the motherboard i will need at least 10 sata ports and will end upgrading the cpu in the near future as well so thanks for your help everyone :) .
