do you plan to be primarily a gamer or graphic design?
the Gaming GPu can be ok at the graphic design and in cheaper, or a dedicated workstation card is great at design, and only ok at gaming

What graphic design apps and game title?

Order of priority
    ■ Operating system, graphic design program + plugins/patches/add-ons, tools and other software related have minimum hardware requirement. Some configuration require specific hardware to function, ex. you'll need a minimum Xeon E3 V5 family to run solidworks.
    ■ M.2 storage, will be useful if you deal with single gigabytes file sizes. Samsung 960 PRO claim 2GB/s read and 1GB/s write. This will be your files resident.
    ■ Any motherboard that has M.2 socket, with 32Gb/s such as latest motherboard releases, Samsung 960 PRO will be at ~3GB/s read and ~2GB/s write.
    ■ 8GB RAM, some configuration will work on RAMDISK, use 1GB space for your frequently used program resident.
    ■ CPU options, there're more than just core speed and cores count, obviously, Intel be more reasonable choice for "wattage consumption per performance" than AMD system
    ■ Graphic Card (raw power VS proprietary seclusion), you can play 3D games with smartphone because mobile game developer develop their release by referring to smartphone hardware, even modern integrated graphic such as Intel HD graphic P530 is certified by solidworks. The fact is pro card such as Quadro family cost more than GTX at similar raw power, again, it's hard to find cost effective hardware if we use program that require specific graphic tech/features.
    ■ Monitor, no comment on this, until you unveil what graphic design program you plan to use and game titles you plan to play.
    ■ PSU, more like general investment, personally I use expensive PSU base on googling online reviewers which led me to conclusion "up time reliability is cheaper than immediate replacement".
