This is proposed setup http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3hPW7

Looking for advice on anything which you think I should change. Not really sure on the motherboard department as there are so many and I don't know which is best value for money.

Ideally I would like the possibility to OC in the future and also have the option for SLI. But with regards to CPU coolers, I would be getting one if/when I overclock.

No OS is needed, no monitor is needed, no SSD is needed.

Probably will wait for the 6gb EVGA GTX 780 because why not.

Anything which you would change?

Thanks

Changed RAM and PSU to better ones.
Corsair RAM is good but the price.... Also "CX" line PSU's aren't that good, XFX 650W is much better and it semi-modular!!!
