I havent looked into the new Radeon cards but are they any better than the one I have in my build for hte same price?

With the mobo yes you can run SLI though im not so sure about the psu. The only thing i would change is the cpu. Are you doing any form of editing? If not the 4770k is a waste of money because it does not add anything to gaming and maybe you could use the £100 ish on a different hard drive the seagate barracuda or caviar black and i would recomend adding an SSD
