Hi! This is going to be my first build so I would very much appreciate any help. So, this build is going to be used for moderate gaming and I occasionally would like to record my game play and render the videos (and possibly streaming). I also plan to use quite abit of photoshop on this computer.
I would like to keep my budget quite a bit below £1050 if possible, without impacting the performance. If any of my components has a cheaper equivalent, go ahead and suggest it, although a reference would be nice.
Regarding overclocking, I plan to do some light-moderate overclocking in about a year's time. I will not be using SLI. So without further ado, my initial parts:

And as a quick note, the keyboard and mouse are just placeholders. I plan to use what ever I have left over on them, so please leave a little breathing space in the budget for the keyboard and mouse.
Many thanks.
Edit: Added 650W PSU.
Edit: Changed case and RAM.
