i7 4770k £290.48
Asus Sabertooth z87 £177.96
16 GB Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB £101.67
Crucial 256GB M4 SATA III SSD £126.54
Asus GTX 770 Nvidia GeForce £329.98
Corsair CX750 750W PSU £76.50
Asus DRW-24B5ST 24x Internal SATA DVD Drive £18.99
Keyboard & Mouse £70.00 (put aside)
Monitor £100 (put aside)
Case £100 (put aside)

Would someone please suggest a nice looking case with good air flow to suit this build?

I'm also after a pretty fast monitor for gaming/graphic design but if you could cut down on the costs that would be amazing, thank you.

100 pound for a monitor is going to get you a real good monitor which can match your rig.
I would increase it to around at least 200 if you want a really good monitor...and I would recommend actually ASUS VG248QE or Dell U2412mM to fit with your nice rig but....
Anyway...here is my recommendation for around 100 pound (€110-€140): BenQ GL2460

For the case, with 100 pound you will get a very nice case :) 
Antec 900 II, Corsair Carbide 500R, Coolermaster CM690 II, etc.
Case is really an issue. All cases in 100 pound price range are all already good. You can simply pick the one you like.


ah!
Crucial m4 has some firmware issues, you might want to consider Samsung 840 pro instead.

Thank you very much for your suggestions, I'm going to have a look into all the products now. I wasn't aware of the firmware issues, will take your advice and get the Samsung.

Just in case if you need some info regarding Crucial m4 firmware issue.
The latest firmware version until today is 070H.
Google for "crucial m4 070h" if you want.
:) 

Yup! Samsung 840 pro is the best one out there in my opinion :)
