This is my first build

This is what ive put together up to now

Its mainly for Coding, Editing, Photoshop, CPU based game. Some basic video editing but im unsure on what gfx card to get ive got 2 samsung curved monitors what both need HDMI input so can you get graphics card with 2x HDMI?

Also is there anything i can change? To make better for not too much difference in price?

No it's not a bad thing. It's decent. It's not high-end of course, but it will get the job done, and that's what matters. The PSU you have included good enough. The motherboard is good. Everything is fine, no changes are needed. You may need to buy an adapter for that 1050 Ti if you don't have a DVI cable for the second monitor. Just google DisplayPort to HDMI and you should fine what you looking for. Don't pay more than 20 for them.

Depending on your budget, I would opt for a TX 1070. If you are using Adobe products, you can take advantage of the CUDA cores, for better rendering. However the CPU is pretty power enough to handle those tasks. I would also recommend upping the memory to 3000mhz. If you honestly don't want to use the GPU to render, a nice GTX 1050 Ti should do you just fine. It's enough to play most games at 1080p on medium settings.

Not at all. If budger permits, get the https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/Rp8H99/corsair-power-supply-cp9020091na

It higher quality for about 20 pounds more. Plus it was last longer with a better warranty. Not to mention it's a extra 100 watts for upgradability. Other than that, it should do just fine.

When you say simple is that a bad thing?, Is it overkill for what i need it for and will the nVidia 1050 TI be enough? Is the motherboard quite a good one?, What PSU would you recommend?

This new one will cool better. Not to mention it has a extra fan. This allows for a SLIGHTLY boost clock., but nothing too crazy. Other than that, they are pretty much the same under the hood. In my opinion, the extra fan isn't worth it as it is not going to generate that much heat anyway.
