To begin, I WILL be upgrading the choice I don't start large with now, I just need to know what will be more effective.
I cannot supply a parts list, since I'm building this desktop based upon deals that come up. It will generally look like this -
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($109.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Kingston XMP Blu Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($56.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB DirectCU II Video Card ($259.99 @ NCIX US)
Case: Cooler Master HAF XB EVO ATX Desktop Case ($94.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($88.99 @ SuperBiiz)
I may be changing the seen mobo to a G1.SNIPER 5, or a GA-Z87X-OC (or similar in quality and price of these), my memory to 2x8 chips, and a more highly certified psu.
I do a wide variety of things, but I mostly work in Photoshop, FlashDevelop, and gaming (Minecraft, Dragon Age, and hopefully soon to be more highly spec-based games).
Looking at the mobos in question, I noticed they've got multiple graphics slots in question. I'm currently on a strict budget, and plan on upgrading in the near future (2-6 months). Would it be better for me to spend $300 or so on a processor with a cheap graphics card which is better than onboard, or get that card with a cheap processor (around $50)?
