Okay everybody, lets get started.
So, first here we go..
1.Open-up a new image, 400x400px will do fine 
2.Set the background to: 3A3A3A & the foreground to: FFFFFF
Like below:
3.Select the Rounded Regtangle Tool, as shown below:
Set the smoothness of it to about 12, as shown below:
4.Now, create your button area to work with, you can create something like mine, as shown below:
4.Open up the Blending Options, as shown below:
5.Go to Bevel & Emboss, and use my settings as below (Here is where you might want to differ, but i suggest use these, as this will happen again - Where you can change to whatever you want on repeat).
6.Go to Inner Glow, Outer Glow & Gradient Overlay and apply these settings below:
Inner Glow:
Outer Glow:
Gradient Overlay:
You may want to repeat the Blending Options a few times to get a better effect & build on it, try changing the settings for each ones.
However, don't forget to merge the current finsihed layer into a new layer, so you can apply new "Blending Options" 
Good luck & love to see your tries
Hope it helps,
Kind Regards,
Jamie
