I've been looking into building a gaming/Photoshop work/media hub build for a while now, and here's what I've come up with:

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/14GZP
Mobo: ASRock Z77 Pro4
Power supply: Corsair CX 500W
GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 660 2gb
RAM: Corsair vengeance 1x8gb
HDD: Seagate barracuda 1tb 3.5"
Case: Bitfenix Shinobi ATX Mid tower

Is this a decent build? It's my first build so I would like to know if the parts are decent and the sort of performance I can expect from current games.

Total for all parts is £631, but as I am on a tight budget if anyone could offer any advice or alternative parts that could reduce the overall cost that would be fantastic.

If you aren't overclocking your cpu this will give you more bang for your buck.
