Hi!. I have a read several builds for motion graphics and animation, but they're way above my budget so I would really like some advice from you 
What it is for...
* I need a system that can run smoothly and make use of graphic acceleration in Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter for rather big files (I work in advertising and Illustration, so I often find myself working in +7000px files). For motion graphics (which I also do for advertising) I usually need to have 3 or 4 different programs running at the same time, one of them being Adobe After Effects.
* I'm nowhere near a "power gamer"... pretty much the only game I play is "league of legends" (which my core i5 M450 laptop runs at 60fps, high settings) but I'd like to have a chance on more demanding games.
* I don't use any 3D software.
* I'd like to use 2 monitors (I've been working with a WXVGA for a long time, so I'd like to get a full HD monitor in the very near future, but I don't want it included in this build).
What I don't need...
* No monitor, no mouse, no keyboard, no drives, no HDD. Case optional, but new PSU seems to be a must (I think my case has a 400w PSU)
* I have no interest in overclocking or investing in cooling systems.
Budget:
* I'd love to keep it under $550 US.
Brands:
* I've had a great time with ASUS components and NVIDIA chipsets. but I'm open to sugestions.
What I've seen that could work (the last PC I built was in 2007, so forgive me if this matchup doesn't make much sense):
* mobo: Asus P8H61-M LX3 r2.0
* proc: i3 3220
* video: Asus gtx650 1gb ddr5
* ram: Corsair vengeance ddr3 1600 8gb
Thanks to anyone who can help me
