This is what I have so far and the limit is about 17500 SEK (swedish krona) or 2700 in USD.

Case: Cooler Master HAF X
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K
DVD-rw: Samsung SH-S222AB
GFX card: Asus GeForce GTX 570 1280MB DirectCU II
HDD: Intel SSD 510 120GB
MOBO: ASRock Z68 Extreme7 GEN 3
Powersupply: Silverstone Strider 1000W Silent 80+
RAM: Corsair 16GB (4x4096MB) CL9 1600Mhz VENGEANCE
Soundcard: Asus Xonar Essence STX

I do have a few questions that I'm hoping someone can anwser for me:
1. Do I need more fans in there since I plan on overclocking the CPU or should I get watercolling instead? Or perhaps you could recomend a different case alltogether? I don't really care how it looks alsong as it's functional and keeps the PC temperature down.

2. Is there a good MotherBoard that works with Intel Core i7 2600K and has 6 or more RAM slots?

3. Do you think I should spend an additional ~150 USD to get the GTX580 instead? I don't really play that much games but I would like to run Skyrim on max settings.

Thank you for your time :).
