I'm putting together my first build in a few weeks but wanted to get some feedback and suggestions first to make sure I'm not making any mistakes! I'll be using it for photoshop, gaming and general use.

Hmm okay, I was planning on overclocking slightly but I don't mind really. Would a i5 4670 run games like BF4 well at stock speed? My GPU is pretty poor tbh!, it's a HD 6670. I'm still trying to decide on which card to get, what would be best for around £180-200?

Yes, a 4670 will run bf4 at stock speeds just fine.

Also, a gpu for your budget - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r79502pmd3gd5oc
