YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £112.99
Total : £112.99 (includes shipping : FREE).

Get a good air cooler for £50-60, better value for money than a closed loop cooler. A custom water cooling loop will be a lot more money and hassle to setup

That board only has a single PCIE3 slot and a PCIE2 slot. The one Honosuseri suggested is a better option.
