Solution
The high end gaming PC is going to be something that can run everything at 1080P at high to ultra settings. This machine will burn through any game on the market, and will have plenty of room for expansion as well.

Please don't pick the TX650 V2. It has some rather bad reviews, and the quality of the unit is questionable. A TX750 V2 is much better, and has good reviews.
 
There both made by seasonic so the reviews make no sense imo i switched the build up though lol.

One more thing, the motherboard is way too expensive. You might aswell pick a Sabretooth or a Rampage if you want to pick a MB of that price class.
 
Not sure what the currency conversion comes out to, but how about:

Plenty of horsepower to run any game on maximum settings right now. Also has plenty of legroom to upgrade in the next few years.
 
I never used XFX GPU's before but the rest looks solid to me.
;)

 
if you are buying the Sabertooth you are buying it for the looks and the warranty (e.g. TUF components). The V-Pro is a good choice check the reviews http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cpu_mainboard/asus_p8-z77v_pro_sandy_bridge_review/1 <--- review w/benchmarks http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/ASUS-P8Z77-V-PRO-Motherboard/1529 <--- review w/benchmarks http://www.techreaction.net/2012/06/28/review-asus-p8z77-v-pro/ <--- review w/benchmarks

Solution
Optional Components

Since some people are interested in monitors, speakers, mice and keyboards, so i'm also including some recommendations for these items as well. I won’t be explaining the choices as peripherals are quite very much dependent on the person using the PC (For example, someone serious about audio may end up with $400 Audioengine 5+ speakers), but here are some suggestions that are a good fit for this build.
Monitor ASUS VS247H-P 24″ Full HD Monitor or Dell UltraSharp U2412M
Speakers Logitech Z313 Speakers
Mouse Razer Deathadder
Keyboard CM Storm QuickFire Pro
 
If you have the money to also purchase a new monitor, I'd buy a 27 inch, 2560 x 1440 resolution. Especially since you will have the PC to push good to great framerates at that resolution. IF not, then shoot for a 24 inch, 1080p monitor, and you'll be up to what is probably considered standard for gaming atm.
