Hey guys, i'm trying to build a new pc, I work as a graphic designer but I'm looking for something more gamer-ish that can also do the designing job (Mostly photoshop, illustrator and inDesign), I was thinking on getting something like this: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/Ky3WHx

I would really appreciate any help since I selected the parts with the very small knowledge I have on computers, reading reviews of each one of them, etc...

Thanks in advance!

The PSU you had was garbage.
Seagate HDDs have a high failure rate.
Also seems you wanted an SSD.

Otherwise everything you had looked fine, it can both game and do graphic design farily weel.

Should shred your build in the professional side, and trade blows in gaming (really CPU bound 4 thread of less games yours wins, less CPU bound games mine wins due to 980 for same price)
