Need help and ideas on a $1500 build

Atlas Fade · Aug 4, 2016

Hello fellow users,

I'm planning soon to build a PC I've been dying to build, I plan on using photoshop and also play a good amount of games. Also, maybe try creating a Youtube channel and see where it goes from there.

Games I play consist of:
Overwatch
Universe Sandbox 2
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (modded)
Rocket League
DayZ
Garry's Mod
Etc..

So, My max budget is 1600 USD, I hope its not a hassle but would love to include the cost of OS/ and this possibly this monitor: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/KBbkcf/asus-monitor-pb258q

Thanks to everyone who responds, creates a build, or even just views this post. Thank you!

i7 for the photoshop work. To be honest this GPU is overkill for those games in 1440p and 60Hz and you can easily save money by going with a GTX 1060, but this should be future-proof in 1440p for years.
