i have been meaning to build a new PC and recently got my hands on a gtx 770 so i figure nows a good a time as any

i plan to use it for gaming and photoshop/ z brush if possible and use the 2 monitors i have

For example this is the best build you can take with £1.000 with a new GTX 970 4GB.
If you can sell it would be great. Then add the money from the GTX770 and buy a GTX 980 instead of GTX970.

A GTX 770 is so weak for a £1.000 build. But take something like this is a beast for photo/video/3D editting

I left you £100 space to add OS or something else. You really dont need something more.

would buying a second 770 be worth it or would selling it for a different graphics card be a better idea and thank you for the build!

If you want more performance go ahead and get a new GTX 770.
