It's mainly going to be used for gaming and photoshop, games I will be playing will be Fallout 3, new vegas, skyrim, crysis 3 total war rome 2 etc. And photoshop will be used in my spare time designing. I am quite happy with this build so far just a bit stuck on the graphics card.

You could buy a (Asus, Sapphire, Gigabyte) GTX 760 or a Sapphire 7870 XT which is a little less powerful. I would buy the first one, in your case.
Please notice that you can't go beyond them actually, otherwise you'll be CPU-limited (even if with those you are already a little). You can overclock your 6300 in order to get some other FPS.
