I will be getting this computer as a birthday present in a few days. What is a good decently priced graphics card besides 750 ti , soundcard, and power supply that would work well with this set up? I do play games but nothing hardcore. I've played Skyrim, Diablo 3, EQ, recently. Needs to run photoshop with no hangups. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

For the psu, it might not need an upgrade but it depends on its specs and brand. For the sound card, the motherboard has one built in. For the vidioe card I would go with a rx 480 (cheapest model is 200 dollars) but I need to know your psu specs before I can be confident that it can handle an rx 480. Also the windows 10 free upgrade ends this month, so if you care about playing all the latest games and having dx 12 support get the free upgrade imo.

No sound card needed, max gpu you'd want is an OCed 290x with that cpu, DON'T get a 750ti, either wait for the RX 460 or go used, the aforementioned 290x can be found for £155 used at uk.webuy.com and a good new, 80+ gold modular PSU is http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-and-upgrades/power-supplies/evga-650-gq-gold-hybrid-modular-atx-psu-650-w-10143401-pdt.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwz4u9BRCbioK3stnBznESJADA75xb_kG7rRyXwY8KirKIQ_kWuXKdu34YV5aWYnJY7WC8-BoC1Nrw_wcB&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~~~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&s_kwcid=AL!3391!3!68394055460!!!g!169310852659!&device=c&istCompanyId=9a35962d-802d-4e67-9721-0a3328ca1f02&istItemId=xttlwxaxam&istBid=tztx&PLA=1&ef_id=V27WggAABOA6rQkG:20160804180856:s Use one Myself!
