Ok, so I have planned to build a computer for some time but am a complete Newbie. I have picked most o the components found competitive prices and made sure there are a few in Stock.
The parts are as follows:
CPU - IntelCore i7-3770k £269.99
Motherboard - Asus P8Z77-V LE £117.33
Graphics Card - Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 £299.60
RAM - G.Skill Ares series 16GB 1600MHz £82.48
HD - Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200 RPM £100.19
SSD - Crucial Real SSD 64GB £62.99
PSU - Antec Earth Watts 750W £86.14
DVD Drive - Samsung Slin 4x BluRay Rom £35

Now I am aware I have no case the one I wanted isn't available, so are there any aesthetically nice cases that are a must any help appreciated Greatly.

This comes to £1081.71 so far, and I have some room to upgrade roughly a maximum of an extra £300 so what would you guys swap and upgrade.

All thoughts welcome, help a newb.

Unless you're planning on going SLI later, i would change the 750w to a 500w psu.

Also, if you don't have an OS, you might want to add that to your budget.

Cases are really the buyers choice..I really like Antec cases but you can check out all the cases here..

But, I would get at least a 120 gig ssd, like a samsung 4 pro or Crucial. 64 gig fills up fast and will drive you crazy..I does me anyway on one of my builds.

Hi Guys, thanks for the responses. I do have an OS planned I prefer windows 7 to te new one so will run that an have that already paid for so the budget stays as is. Upgrading the SSD then and I will keep the 750w as it allows for growth room an I will eventually try an overclock so will need it.
