Approximate purchase date: The next 3 weeks
Budget range: Roughly £870 before OS, keyboard, mouse and monitor
System Usage: Gaming and Watching TV/Movies
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium OEM
Website: Amazon.co.uk
Overclocking: When it's necessary
SLI/Crossfire: Probably in the distant future
Monitor resolution: 1920x1080
I'm planning for this system to be pretty much futureproofed, able to play every current game on max settings, and to be able to play games on decent settings for quite a while without upgrades. I've already decided on most components but I'm not quite sure of it.

As you can see I've yet to choose a motherboard. That's because I don't know much about motherboards, I would like it if someone could recommend me one, and that after any other changes you make to my build adding in the motherboard it should only be a total of £870, the components I've chosen add up to about £750. I'd also like advice on a couple of small things:
1. Are these components all compatible?
2. Will this case be big enough for these components?
3. Are there any components you would recommend I take over those I have chosen, for example should I be buying a 4570k and not a 3570k?
Bear in mind that this motherboard would ideally be capable of SLI and holding 1866mhz RAM.
Thanks in advance.
