Hi,
Would you say that this is a good build? I do not plan on using this for gaming, even though I have a mechanical keyboard thrown in there (I've always wanted one). I think the graphics card might be a little too over the edge. The only reason why I chose a dedicated GPU is because I didn't know if the built-in one could handle 2 1080p displays (I might buy a second one later on). If this would not fit me, please feel free to revise this/create a new one. I am totally up to suggestions. Also, I would be using this for light to moderate Photoshop and MS Office applications. I would really like an SSD, but if that's not reasonable, so be it.
Thanks!
