PC Upgrade
So I will be looking to upgrade my PC in a few months, I know the prices will change by then but I just wanted to see what sort of system I would be looking at.

Budget wise is around £300-400, I will be keeping my SSD, HDD, PSU (Coolermaster 750w), GPU's (2x GTX260 216P), Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers and Monitor.

So basically all I need is a new Motherboard, CPU, CPU Cooler, RAM and most likely a new case. Eventually I'd upgrade the GPU's.

I've been looking at i5 3570K's and I would ideally want 8 GB RAM.

I have seen this Motherboard - ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 Intel Z77

But does anyone have any recommendations? (SLI and decent overclocking abilities please)

I'm sure this RAM will be good enough? any recommendations?

Cooler wise I currently have a Coolermaster 212 Plus but that won't fit on a 1155 Socket, so I'd either upgrade to their EVO version which does or maybe go for the water cooling ones?

If anyone could recommend a cheap but good case aswell

The PC would be mainly used for gaming but the odd photoshop/video editing too.

Thanks!

dunno if you wanna go for watercooling then get a real one otherwise its not much better than heatpipe aircooler...

id sell the GTX260 cards and get a single card and water cool it.

but its a lil pricey...
