Yea, I'm going for a 2-way SLI Build :D. My budget is roughly £720.00.
Also, are there problems I might encounter when I buy this?
What more can you suggest?
Questions:

Should I change my CPU?

Should I change my PSU?

I am also planning to do some overclocking. (My mobo is kinda ready for this)
If so, I Should upgrade my ram to 16gb right? And get a K series CPU right?
Specifically, an i5-2500k can handle it, right?

Yea, Loads of question. Please suggest things that can help :)

8GB is plenty of ram for gaming. An i5 is currently the best CPU for gaming so if you can afford it I would suggest getting one. I would also say go with a single GTX 760 now (or 7970 for a little more) and keep the option of adding a second card later.

I would also suggest changing the PSU to something like this. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750xxxb9 or if you go with a 7970 go for 850w for enough headroom to support 2. Antec, Corsair, Sea sonic, and XFX are generally good, for anything else I highly recommend reading reviews on the individual units and if you can't find a review look for a different PSU.

@Xavier that's why I'm not slowgunna :D

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, your going to need a larger PSU if you plan to SLI, go for a 750 or 850. The difference between reference and non reference is the Cooler, stock coolers generally have 1 tiny fan that will cool the card, non reference cards usually have 2-3 large fans that will do a much better job of cooling.
