I am building a rig which I intend to use for gaming.I will also be using it for,although not as much for using photoshop,zbrush and other programs like that.

For my processor I have gone with an Intel i7 4770k which I might overclock but not like crazy high or that often.

For the GPU I am think I will choose an EVGA 3GB gtx 780 superclocked ACX as I think it is pretty reasonable for its price.

I am still  about which motherboard I want and need some help,please suggest a good motherboard for what I want.

I am also not sure about the psu I will need.

Is the gpu I chose a reasonable choice.

There is a possibility that I will have to buy the gpu in the Uk where the prices are higher and if you have any other suggestions the pricing needs to translate well into the price here.

Thank You for reading.

Well, if you're just gaming with a bit of photoshop, I wouldn't really recommend the 4770k. It won't benefit you enough to justify the price. Unless you're video editing or something similar, then the 4770k will be a reasonable price. 

 

As for the GPU, it doesn't exist xD 770s come with either 2GB or 4GB of VRAM. If you give us your budget, location and info such as needing any peripherals, OS etc. then we can put a system together for you.
