the only thing i would take from this build is the photoshop. why not build your own. you get the satisfaction and no crapware on windows.

for 1300$ you can get this

i5 3570k
hyper212
gigabyte z77x-ud3h
mushkin blackline ram 8gb
gtx 670
seagate 1tb barracuda with 64mb of cache
xfx 550w power supply (i will assume you wont every upgrade. if you are get the 650w)
antec 302 case
windows 7 64bit

this is so much better because it will max out any game out there on a 1080p monitor rather than just medium settings on most games

The HP one has a couple software advantages, but you could cut back to an AMD 7870 for your graphics card, and the savings would let you pay for the rest.
