Its ok, but the £150 difference a GXT570 will save can be kept in your pocket for the future.
Or use the £150 to pick up a second hand GTX570 for SLI action

Then you got the lack of Vram issue to think about, see above, I added a comment about maybe picking up a second hand GTX570 when the time arises with the money saved.
Very nice.
Ah didn't see that edit sorry.

Any you wish to change stulid?
The case.
It supports max length of

The Gigabyte card is 280mm/11" http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3895#sp
WOW, very nice, it is twice the price of what you were looking at!!
Case choice is completely your choice, so just find ones you like the look of and I can tell you if they are,
1) any good
2) big enough
It may be twice the price, but its bigger leaving more room for cable management and future upgrades.
And it's looks awesome.

Cant argue with that. Its like an investment, buy once and buy "right", so you dont have to buy another for years and years.
Just to make sure, can it house the gtx570?
Yes, one of the HDD cages can be removed if theres an issue.
Is this gtx750 better than the one ive chosen? - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-085-GI&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1010
Its clocked a little higher, you are getting closer to GTX580 money.
Keep the money in your pocket.

1.5gb 580 sli let alone the 1.28gb sli will suffer from vram shortage across 3 screens at some stage, you'd want the 3gb 580 and 2.5gb 570 to avoid. or better just go 6950/6970/6990
btw you'll need a cpu cooler if you plan to pust the i2500k past 4ghz as the intel stock cooler wouldn't handle it, the vengence ram will limit the coolers you can use if going air cooling.
