A 7970 will handle everything you can throw at it for several years. That build looks pretty decent but I'd switch out the case and PSU. What's your budget? I can suggest parts if I knew that.

I think the 670 will be better for your needs like this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GeForce-GTX670-Nvidia-Graphics/dp/B008BX2CFY/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1353193668&sr=8-10

look at this : http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph6025/47478.png

if you can spend a little more buy a ssd : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-Internal-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B004W2JKWG/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1353193853&sr=1-1

that psu will handle the cpu oc and gfx oc.

Zalman is a brand that people either really like or really hate. Their coolers are not the greatest and most of their cases use a lot of cheap plastic. For that budget I would suggest something like this:

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Cooler Master Storm Scout ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports.
