Recommendation of parts or model for a 2 - 2.5k budget.

Casing: Prefer Antec or Corsair
Power Supply: 750W (Need to cater for Crossfire or SLI)
Memory: 8 or 16GB
SSD: 250GB
Sata Harddisk: 2 or 3TB
MB: Prefer Gigabtye with Z87 chipset or MSI board
CPU: Prefer i7 4770 (entry level)
GPU: Prefer ATI
OS: Windows 7 or 8
