I would change the board to the P8Z77-V LK/ Gigabyte Z77 UD3H if you plan to voerclock because this is a better quality board than the one that you chose. As for the graphics card, I would go with the MSI Twin Frozr 7950 if you don't use CUDA or Physx because this card performs better than the 760 when overclocked. Since you have an unlocked processor, I would recommend the Hyper 212 Evo and it would not block the ram if you are using the fan included as a pull configuration pulling to the rear.

The don't have a MSI twin frozer 7950 on the website i get it from but the have a HIS 7950 for $289 would that be better?

Its this one: http://www.iibuy.com.au/msi-radeon-hd7950-pci30-gddr5-3gb-div-hdmi-dvi-black-edition_p39826.html

You could stick with the HIS card if you don't want to overclock and don't mind the noise from the cooler. To keep it within your budget, the 

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 isn't a bad board. If not, I would go with the UD3H since this is better in overclocking imo.

I plan to be mostly gaming but I will be using photoshop every now and again and my budget is about 950

Do you need to get hdds/ssds or do you already have some lying around? Do you also need a copy of Windows?
