To better portray my idea, here is an example of what I'd buy if I had a larger budget:

Wondering if this would be a good all-round PC for anything I might get into. Also wanting a bit of future proofing and a red theme. Preferably under around 1000-1300 USD with monitor, keyboard, and decent parts. Any opinions or ideas for different parts are welcomed.
I'm trying to keep the build mostly Intel/Nvidia because of bad experiences with amd/radeon in the past. Also, as a side question: doesn't the 290 and 290x give off a ton of heat?
What I'm trying to go for is something that I can use for not only gaming, but also adobe after affects & premier work too.
My preferences for this are:
- Fast enough to handle everything I throw at it, but it doesn't have to be overkill. I don't mind a bit of lag here and there with the higher end loads, as long as it can handle everything else with ease.
- Nice red color scheme. I don't want to spend everything on the CPU and GC while leaving the rest of it looking like a dump.
- As stated above, I'd like to have a well rounded build with all the parts being decent. No buying cheapo of one thing to get a way better of the other thing (there are exceptions, however).
- Price range around $1000-$1350~ (Also considering tax if possible)
- No need for too much storage, I can upgrade it later.
I usually like to have better cooling than necessary, but if it's completely overkill then I'm fine with a lower tier noctua or something of that matter. As far as the Video Card goes, if you guys know that a 290 won't completely cook everything on the inside of my case, then I'll definitely check it out. Lastly, I don't mind that much if I can't fit the absolute best Vcard in the budget... as long as it can play (almost) any game at medium/high~ settings and handle adobe with ease, but if you're able too, then that's great.
I really like these items:
