What are your PC build recommendations??
I want mainly a photo editing pc that can run Lightroom + Photoshop smoothly. Occasionally Adobe Premier, but something I can upgrade later in the future.
A nice aesthetic overall design would be cool as well.
Peripherals needed
OS I can figure something out
Budget 600$-1000$

If you can add a good display as well(Apart from the PC budget). Something that covers 100% sRGB and 80% or more Adobe RGB for a decent price.
:)
 
1) Ignore the case, design costs money you don't have
2) OS WILL BE INCLUDED since your response is akin to "i'll just pirate it later" which we do not condone here!

Haha I did not have pirating in mind whatsoever.
Luckily I'm still in school and we get software at a low cost :)
Sometimes even free.
This build looks solid!
 


If you have the old university Windows Pro for $30 offer (many places dropped it unfortunately), then go ahead and spend that extra $60 on the 6700K and a decent cooler, it's not a huge improvement but certainly enough of one to justify the cost.

I messed around with the list you provided, took away the OS and Display and bumped in a 6700K and a CPU Cooler. Changed the SSD to a different brand as well.
What are your thoughts.
