I have created a list of parts that I am thinking about purchasing for a new computer. It would be of huge help if anyone could look it over and let me kn ow of anything that I need to change, add or get rid of! I will be using my computer for web design using adobe creative cloud and also probably Microsoft office suite and internet. I have already ordered my OS and have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Thanks in advance!

That's decent you could definitely get some better parts for a $1K budget, especially the case. And liquid cooling is unnecessary with a locked processor.

Try something like this:

Stronger GPU, better SSD, better case, same PSU, dropped the cheap case fan, and running on stock cooling instead of the aftermarket cooler.

Why would that case be better? Just curious. I am not very knowledgable about system builds.
