New Computer, need help with spec (Update)

Hello!

The time has come to get a new computer and I was hoping you guys could help.

Okay, purpose of the build:
An artwork computer. Photoshop, light video editing, general computer stuff.

My current PC is an i5 760, HD 5850.

Basically, I want something that will be better than that, but doesn't have to be for high-end gaming.

I think 16GB of RAM will be useful, and a decently fast graphics card too. I've seen the HD 7770k mentioned as a decent card that works well with photoshop, but I'm never great at knowing all the best options.
As for processor, something speedy with threading is good, the i7-4770k still gets high praise, but I'm wondering if that's too powerful for what I want, or maybe I'm just being needlessly conservative.

I'd also like it to be as quiet as possible. I won't be gaming so massive cooling won't be required.

What I need:
16gb RAM, a fast processor, a "decent" GPU, compatible motherboard, two SSDs (one for booting one for art storage), cooling, PSU, anything else I've forgotten.

What I won't need:
Peripherals, monitor.

Budget: £800-£1000

Thanks in advance from this hopeless PC builder!

• Sound dampened case
• CPU is multi locked but the Z97 chipset board should support Broadwell CPUs when they are released.
• SSD for OS and programs and a HDD for the storage.

Hey, just an update.
The components arrived yesterday afternoon and I put it all together. Run memtest and various other stress tests, stability and heat are all fine and everything seems to be working nicely!

Thanks again!
