This is my first build and most likely i will upgrade it later on. It is mostly for gaming, but with a lot of photo editing aswell; there may also be some video editing for game plays that are recorded. I would like to OC aswell to perhaps around 4.5. Would this be a good build for £1400?

Haf X 942
I5-3570k
Asus P8Z77-V Pro
Corsair 8gb 1600 mhz CL9 Low Profile Ram
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 64mb cache
Sandisk Extreme 120gb SSD
MSI GeForce GTX 670 Power Edition OC
Corsair TX750
Sony AD-5280S-0B
1x Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm
3x Coolermaster Megaflow 200mm (Red)
Zalman CNPS9900-MAX (RED)
NZXT Sentry 2
Razer Orochi
Win7 Home Premium sp1 64bit

I also need to get a keyboard, preferably with Cherry MX Browns, and this all needs to be under the £1400 mark.

Looks you've got it pretty much all figured - that's all good stuff you've chosen there, just a few things:

Firstly I love ASUS boards, but the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H is just as good as that ASUS and I believe it's cheaper too, so get one of those.

You should get a good overclocker with that cooler, not sure about 4.5GHz though. For 4.5 you'd probably need to look at a liquid cooler such as the Corsair H-Series.

Rest looks fine. Where are you buying all of this from?
