Optimal under £1000 Ws and gaming build

[ExtreamChaozZ]

I am going to be building a new pc for my step sister who will be doing a mix between gaming and using it as a work station, the budget that I have got is £1000 and so I have put these piece together. I was wondering if I could improve this build but stay within the budget, as well as sticking to the white and black theme with gold highlights.

The parts are:
Asus z97a
Corsair vengeance pro 16gb gold
I7 4770k
Gtx 660 sc
120gb Samsung evo 840 ssd
1tb wd green hdd
Coolermaster v1000 psu
H220x aio cooler cpu cooler
Nzxt phantom (already brought)

Another gtx 660 will be going into this rig at a later date from my personal rig when I upgrade in the future. Also the H220x will be for expanding in the future for full water cooling.

That GTX 660 is outdated. Wait for GTX 960 or get the 970 if you can

PSU overkill, WD Blue should be bought, 4770k... 4790K is out. GPU way too low. H220x air?

How about this :

It's great to have another 660 but its simply not really needed. Its better to have a single card which is more powerfull than 2 mid end cards. But if you want to :

Two GTX 660s are still pretty strong.
