PC for gaming with budget of £3000

[Exail]

Hello,
I am planning to build my first PC. Main usage is for games, but also will be used to render videos and work with software like photoshop.

Here is what I did come up:
http://www.ebuyer.com/lists/list/298875

I would like to hear sugestion about which components I should change to get better performance with possible overclocking in future. Budget is £3000

These are my questions:
1- Motherboard: I did chose from this shop this one
MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Socket 1150 HDMI D-Sub DVI 8-Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
But I was told what with my budget it would be better to take this one:
MSI Z87 XPOWER

2- CPU cooler: I have no idea how to chose it, can I hear some sugestion which will be better for i7 4770k, with possible overclocking

3- Power supplier: is it enough 1000w and is it good choose?

4- Audio card: I need just 7.1 channel surround sound capable, which have good price against quality.

Shop can be different, but I need to be able get all components in the UK

You have an humongous budget, I'll let my friend Jacob (Jm772854) handle this XD
Just to say, with that much, get a extreme edition cpu and sli some 780ti's 8D

So, with a 3,000 pound budget... That's a ton of money...

Thanks for reply. I am really interested in first build suggestion and probably will go with it. About 3 way SLI, I don't think I will be able to use all this power, so I prefer better CPU

 

[Exail]

So after reviewing all suggestions and some research I have come up with following build:

1 - Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor: I presume it is better choice of performance/cost
2 - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) - as they have better boost
3 - Cooler Master Cosmos II (Black) ATX Full Tower Case : Just love this case

If there are any mistakes or you have sugestion, I would like to hear it

 

[Jacob McIntosh]

Get a 950 or 1000w power supply. With that rig, you will want to OC. And get either Evga or ASUS 780Ti's, Gigabyte ones are not as nice.

Thanks for advice, so I think I will go with this:

Good luck with the build! Try and post some benchmarks on this thread once you get it working.
