Along with:
GTX 660 ti
ASRock Z77 Extreme 6
Corsair Vengance low profile 4x2gb

I'll be working with Adobe products (Photoshop and After Effects CS6), 3DS Max and i'll be playing high-end games like Crysis, Metro... y' know

Thanks in advance.

yes iknow .. it's very good as well

I use Adobe CS6 products daily and do some light 3D work and I run a Core i5 3570k and it runs everything quickly and smoothly, the 3770k will be more than adequate for your needs.

For gaming get as expensive as a GPU as you can afford, but the 660ti or 670 will be great for gaming at max or near max settings in almost all games @1080P

3770k is good enough, but if you want to max out Crysis then you'll have to get a 680 or 7970 to come close.

Yes 3770k is good enough. Hope this answer helps you

I assume you meant 2x4GB, right? If you are using CS6 then you might want to get 2x8GB.

envy14tpe :

Yeah 2x4. I've stumbled across many 2x8GB sticks so can you recommend some?

filipzetomic :

scan.co.uk only has Corsair, so how about this one:

However, check out this one, it's insanely cheaper:

This one is on sale too:

The ASRock Extreme 4 is cheaper and almost the same as the Extreme 6. Usually the Extreme 6 is $30USD more, but it's on sale in US for only $5 more; however, in the UK I don't see the sale price so I'd opt for the Extreme 4 instead.

Thanks for the spot, got to grab it before it price raises.
One more thing. Can you suggest an SSD and a case? I'm not sure about the capacity. Thanks for everything else though

Fro £79.17, I'd get this:

What is your budget on the case? It makes a huge difference. Personally, there are two cases I like:
NZXT Phantom 410: excellent cooling.

Fractal Design Define R4: good cooling and quiet.
