Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/bCGRBP


I have decided that I want to build a custom pc as my 2008 MBP just does not cut it anymore. I have researched countless cpus, gpus and everything else. My main goal is for this pc to run Premiere Pro, Photoshop and After Affects smoothly and also some light gaming (Nothing super demanding).
Keep in mind that I am on a budget and that I am going to upgrade the GPU and CPU in the next couple of years. Also, will I need a stock CPU cooler or should I buy an aftermarket one? Another question I have is that will the R7 370 be able to handle what I need to do?

yeah its a pretty solid build. i would wait for the radeon 400 series to be released though. They are pretty cheap and will perform better than the 300's. if your looking to do mostly editing you might want to look into an INTEL Xeon CPU they can still game but are more proficient for workstation stuff hope this helps
