i would go with just one ssd rather than two and then use a mechanical harddrive for mass storage.

For gaming, 8GB would be plenty, however, it never hurts to have more. For the storage, it would be more appropriate to go with a single 250GBish SSD with a 1 or 2 TB HDD. Aside from that, it looks good.

This is mostly what you had picked out but in a PCPP list.
I also changed the storage to a much better bang/buck.
If you want to get 1 part that's not in that color scheme but would give better performance you could get a NH-D14 cooler
I also picked a slightly cheaper motherboard that doesn't have any less than the one you picked.

im from uk. Budget is around 1200 pounds just for the pc.

im planing to go for 1440p, more exactly the lg 34um95 ultra wide display.

as for storage i only need it for gaming and i want everything to install/start/load very fast. I keep my music on a external hdd and once ive seen a movie ive deleted it, i never save them :P

thanks all for reply.

You can also get replacement cables for the EVGA G2.

The Bitfenix extensions will still work fine though, if you don't want to spend £70+

The nzxt h440 case has to 2 visible ssd slots and putting just one inside will look "incomplete" trhough the glass panel, if you know what I mean... And puting 2 of 1tb each is out of the question mainly because I would never need more than 1tb.

You can't see the drives from the window in the case, well barely, but they are to short to see in the bays so it wouldn't matter unless you want to  do raid0, or get 2 more and do raid10
