........
And finally, I thought the Samsungs read and write speeds were significantly less and almost the same price as the ocz?..
Gimmick, they give the maximum read/write speed achieved over different file transfer sizes. Their maximum read/write might be higher while they have lesser performance at non optimal file sizes.

Your PC will never use 32GB of ram while gaming or recording music. Even half that much will still be more than you need.
8GB is plenty, even 16GB if the price is OK. Any more than 16 is a waste of cash though.
If you plan to keep this rig and not go DDR4, grab the fastest ram you can afford this way it won't instantly become obsolete when Intel ditch DDR3 next year.

Yes, get 16GB. You can't upgrade to DDR4 unless you build a completely new computer (new motherboard, CPU), so that is really a non-issue. I agree that you should overclock, especially since you mentioned SLI. Although it is not necessary for SLI, it seems kind of pointless to go to that extreme and not overclock it!
I think eclap missed your following line:
so I would recommend a really good sound card. Spend the money you saved from going 32GB of RAM on one of these

Here is a nice EVGA GTX 780 SC for £570, great cooling.
PSU wise, I wouldn't go with that one tbh. Something like this XFX Black 850W 80+ Gold would be my choice.
The z87-deluxe is overkill imo, get something like this z87-pro it'll most likely do everything you'll ever need.
If you're not overclocking at all, you don't need a 4770K, just get a non K 4770. I highly suggest you get a 4770K and overclock it, even if it's only up to 4ghz or so, which will be piss easy.
I'll second the Samsung 840Pro as the SSD to go for atm, price/performance is great, so seems to be reliability so far.
For a CPU cooler, I'd go with air personally, some others will surely recommend a Corsair AIO water cooler, but as far as air coolers go, something like this Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E or this Noctua NH-D14 will do a great job at keeping your cpu cool and quiet.
Oh, and get a sound card, a SB Z OEM can be had for under £60, 100% worth it.
