I've been trying to decide on the right spec for me for a long time now, and this is what I think is what will work best for me, but I just want to make sure that it's the best I can get for occasional gaming, rendering and general usage, for under £1000. I have a monitor already and chose the 600w incase I feel the need to get a second 7850, if I suddenly get into pc gaming. So, is this good for what I need? considering the fact that in the future I will probably get a second screen, and possibly get a second 7850?

It's not completely for gaming, I will be using programs like photoshop and vegas, and only playing games such as minecraft and portal 2, so I didnt feel compelled to increase the card as I can get the second if needs be. and I just assumed that the higher speed would mean less laggy gameplay etc?

Yes :) misread your thread. Wouldn't you benefit from more memory ram though? (photoshop) 16gb samsung 1333Mhz, my understanding is that the 1600Mhz or 1866Mhz is more beneficial when overclocking.

Your build is is good for what you want to do,more memory as mentioned could be a good idea,
especially as it's quite cheap at the moment.
