I'm building a PC .I will be using it solely for audio production purposes and occasional photo editing. May be watching movies and streaming videos online but no gaming at all.

I'm going for a i7 4790k processor and a Asus z97 a motherboard with 16 GB RAM and 250 GB ssd . My question is do I really need a dedicated graphics card if I'm only using it for audio and watching movies n stuff? If not will the Integrated graphics on Asus z97 a be enough or do I buy a better motherboard with better integrated graphics and not a GPU.

I could also use some help choosing a good ssd , RAM , power supply n cabinet:)

The onboard graphics should work fine for what you're doing.

@Badactor thank you! If I plan to buy a liquid cooling system in the future will it be compatible with this motherboard and case? Secondly should I buy a higher 500-550 watt power supply or will that be too much?(I don't think we have this particular powelsupply available in my country .can I go for corsair's power supply?

First of all, at this point in time, there is an upgrade in modern technology, DDR4.
You should not build a DDR3 PC, when both the intel 6XXX CPUS and DDR4 ram are the same price as previous generations.

I don't know your budget, but if you have room get a bigger PSU, for future upgrades.
EVGA G2 B2 P2 GS, XFX XTR, Seasonig S12,M12,G are good one of the best for the price.
