I'm planning parts for a new build, my first build, and I'm looking for tips on what hardware to buy.

Currently I have chosen:
i7 4770k
evga superclocked/classified (don't know which I should go for, any tips appreciated) gtx 780 ti
MSI Z87-G45 mobo
HAF X case
Corsair h100i cpu cooler

I'm looking for 16 GB of ram, my budget is £150 tops, and I'm also looking for a SSD with a budget of £150 again, and also a HDD, preferably with a budget of £100-125.

As I've said, it'll be my first build, so I'm not sure what parts are good for the budget.
Also, is there anything else I would need to purchase other than these parts? Like sound cards/network adapters/thermal compound/extra fans?

Thanks in advance :D

I'll be using just the one gpu, but I plan on overclocking at least the CPU, and probably the gpu.
Not sure how much I'll overclock it, I'll probably search around and see what I can get with them.

The Samsung EVO is a GREAT solid state drive, especially for the price. The PSU is high quality IMO because SeaSonic makes the finest.
