Your budget is unneccessarily high, you honestly won't get a lot of bang for your buck if you buy all top-end components. In a year there'll be something equally good out at a cheaper price, so it's better to get beefy (but not overpriced) hardware, and upgrade later on instead.
You'll want to go with a beefy Core i7 (latest gen) CPU.
No, he won't. i7s have very few gains over i5s in gaming.
As for GPU, Maybe a GTX690, GTX Titan or ASUS Rog Ares II (dual HD7970), but they'll eat up a huge chunk of your budget and IMO don't last long enough (performance-wise) to be worth it. I'd go with something around half that price, like a GTX 680 or a HD7970, and upgrade it later on when hardware is more powerful, getting a more powerful GPU in the end without paying more in total.
The 770 would be a much better option
RAM is quite cheap, but realistically you won't need 16 GB unless you do some heavy rendering. By the time things require that much RAM, DDR3 might be obsolete anyway, so there's not much point in buying it now. That said, RAM is still cheap, so if you get a good deal on 16GB of RAM you might as well go for it.
Agree.
As far as SSDs go, I don't have a lot of experience with them myself but Intel is widely renowned as the best SSD manufacturer (though rather pricy) so definitely go with them. I have a SSD on my laptop and honestly don't think it's worth the money, sure windows boots fast and apps open faster, but I don't reboot/open apps constantly, so for me it's not a big difference. But that's just my opinion.
The Samsung 840 Pro is the best performing one. Intel is pretty overpriced right now and performs a bit worse.
As I don't live in US I can't really give you any links to product pages, but I see there are other people doing a pretty good job at that
