I'm in the process of building a PC and I need some assistance to finalise it.
The PC would be used mostly for
Designing in Photoshop,Indesign and Illustrator
Video Editing in Adobe Premiere and After Effects
Photo editing in Lightroom
General Browsing
Minimal Gaming
Now I am working on a budget of $1200
My LGA 2011 Setup CPU+Motherboard = $631
My LGA 1150 Setup CPU+Motherboard = $444
With the LGA 2011 I've opted for an inferior Graphics card
LGA 2011 – R5450 1GB
LGA 1150 – R7 240 2GB
I still have the option of removing the video card altogether from the LGA2011 system and adding one at a later date if necessary.
I've cut down as much as I can to make the prices as close as possible, mainly with a cheaper Monitor and Case for the LGA 2011.
Do you think for my purposes it's better for me to get the more expensive ISP monitor (since there's a ton of design work happening on this machine)
Lastly, the cases.
The case i chose for the LGA 2011 is
Coolmaster Force 500 – $49 http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/cm-force-500/
For the LGA 1150
Thermaltake Urban T21 – $95

Is there a big difference in which I choose? I prefer the Urban T21.
Otherwise I've managed to keep the other parts fairly similar with slightly cheaper models for the LGA 2011
The final setup prices came to
LGA 2011 – $1245
LGA 1150 – $1196
Can I have some advice on where I should go from here,
Thanks
