Well my PC has given up the ghost this morning and looking to spend £500 building a new one, needs to include everything bar a monitor, main uses probably Photoshop, Movies and Browsing but would like something that I can do some gaming on,

Merry Christmas!

You can go either intel or AMD both below

AMD

Intel

the intel is slightly deerer but provides a lot more power for the same system and wont have any problems with anything you plan on using it for

On the amd rig to save some money to get a better graphics card drop the power supply for a Ocz modxstream pro 500w psu

Then you can swap the graphics card for a 5770 which the the next step up from the 5750 but you will notice the performance due to the extra memory and speed.
