that is a very broad question but I have some recommendations, since you said top spec, meaning best.
-AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, better if you had an intel socket, but ah well.
-GTX 780Ti/R9 290X Custom cooled, get whichever is best are both are excellent cards, I own a R9 290X but the GTX 780Ti does come out overall on top, but both cards take blows in different things. If you have insane money then get 2 and put them in crossfire/SLI. Your 700watt PSU isn't enough for that though, you'll need a 900 watt PSU if you get 2 insane cards. I tend to get just one insane card so I don't have to worry about SLI/Crossfire support.
-Ram, Trident-X 2400MHz, simply the best, 16GB just to have enough for a long while.

sorry bruv i should have been more specific 
my plan originally was to get an AMD FX8320 but i checked the support page and the motherboard wont support it
i was also planning on getting an Asus HD 7770 at first and then another to crossfire them. money is an object im not loaded im getting things piece by piece
the whole rig is intended for gaming
i was looking at that phenom and that is well out of my price range the 8 core amd is only about 100 pound on amazon
im aware i might have to get another psu to support these things i came here to get professional support on what i should buy that is good value for money and work well with the motherboard and give me a hefty gaming rig
i bought a cis mars case and have very much regretted it as it does not fit well at all so im thinking of getting a new case and putting my older parts onto my old mb in the cis case
i would just like an overview of what i should be getting thats powerful and good value for money
also a sleek pc case that fits nicely with the mb recommendation would be nice
i sort of impulse bought these things without fully looking into it and have regretted it
my money range for each piece of hardware is about tops 150 per piece as im buying them procedurally

HAF 912 case would be very good, get a 7770 and go crossfire later is also a good option and a Phenom processor which is left in budget. Is that the kind of answer yo needed?
