You could save money by getting the XFX 550W PSU as you won't use 750w with that build.

Planning to upgrade heavily in the future so i'm just future proofing myself.

Don't bother with future proofing on a power supply, but the time you upgrade prices will have varied a lot and depending how many years go by you'll get capacitor wear on the unit anyway.

I would highly recommend this system as it uses a full functional high quality case with plenty of room for upgrades, the processor and motherboard are overclocking ready aswell. If you don't think you'd use the functions to their max capability then its just a better spend of money for a ten pound premium, also unlocked hardware has a higher resale value when you ebay it at the end of its useful life.

I don't like the Fractal Design case... Not saying it's bad.

Pick any case you like then, aslong as it supports an ATX motherboard and any cooler you think you'll use in the future.

Would recommend against any case at the same price range as the Arc Midi unless its another well known brand.
