I know this has been posted probably a million times but I am a complete novice and need help with building my first PC. I've have been researching and educating myself but I feel like I have hit a brick wall with it all, as I am over thinking every aspect so I would really appreciate some help :)

I basically want a Pc for gaming and maybe some dabbling on photoshop in the future. I don't play anything "severe" (ha), just such things as Smite and games like Smite, Minecraft, Black Desert and other such RPGs. I don't mind about not playing on the highest settings although something that could handle everything, would be great. I'm trying to keep costs down as I'm on a budget and If you can see costs that can be cut please don't hesitate to say. I do believe that I could probably get a cheaper motherboard, psu and cooler but I literally have no idea what's decent and good for the money regardless of how many reviews I read.

This is what I've put together so far, I did it on part picker so I hope you don't mind.

Alternative parts, as I don't know which would be the better pick:

RAM: HyperX Fury 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 2133 MHz DDR4 CL14 UDIMM Memory Kit (Skylake Compatible) - Black

CPU Cooler: Antec H600 Pro Hydro All in One CPU Liquid Cooler.

Graphics card: MSI NVIDIA GTX 750Ti OC 1059MHz (Boost 1137MHz) 5400MHz 2GB 128 Bit DDR5 DL-DVI-D HDMI PCI-E

All these things are quite over my budget as I did want to get everything bought for £700/$990 (including a monitor) so any cuts you think I can make, without effecting the performance massively, would be awesome. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated :)

I recommend:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4460
Motherboard: Asus B85M-G
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 750 Ti SC
PSU: BeQuiet Pure Power l8 (530 Watts)


The rest you can choose, it won't make much of a difference :)
