I'm going to build a new PC in about 2-4 weeks and I want some opinions about it.
Money isn't such a big deal, so changes can be made but I would like a max at 1700.

Don't buy a 2600k if you aren't going to utilize the threads, if you're just gaming just get a 2500k.
If you're set on the UD7, go for the other UD7 with Z68.
And I don't think you want a triple-slot card in a mid tower

you might also want 850w for 570 sli to lessen psu load
what site is this and what is this build for
Also don't worry about picking parts until the week you are gonna get them, preferably the day before you place the order.

Thanks, I'm going to be using it Primarily for programming, of course i will also be gaming on it. (Should have mentioned this in the OP sorry about that.)
So would you still advice the 2500k over the 2600k knowing that?
Any advise what kind of case would be best?

Alternate.nl and see my other answer what i'm using it for.
Doesn't the 922 come with SSD brackets?
I will say the UD7 is way overkill from the looks of your build, you're not even running SLI, and the board is really meant for even 3 cards due to the NF200 chip.
Unless you plan on getting 1-2 more 570's you wouldn't be taking advantage of the purpose of the UD7 over something like the UD4 or UD5.
Also the UD7 has industry leading terrible PCIe slot placement. Even if you had a 2 slot card they'd be butted so close together. You wouldn't be able to SLI those DirectCU cards from my understanding since they are 3 slot.

It comes with a 5,25" -> 3,5" for the external 3,5" bay.
I'd say get a Asus P8P67 Pro for mobo, and a SilverStone Strider SST-ST85F-P, both available on alternate.nl
The mobo is half the price, while being SLI ready etc, and the psu is 850watt, and also SLI ready.
I'd drop the CPU down to i5 2500k,
the mobo to UD4 and go for the newer chipset "Z68"
and get therefor a better graphicscard or 2x gtx570.
Just a suggestion, so don't hate.
