Hi, is everything compatible? Can you give us a complete spec list? Everything fit in properly?

add these parts to pcpartpicker and see what the price comes up to. these parts are good but you for 4 - 6k (IS A LOT), you can make your own brand new gaming rig

i dont' know how pawn shops work but you should probably take it back

The PC market will change a lot by 2018 at least when it comes to CPUs and Motherboards. Otherwise, the build looks good for now!

Go for black/red then

Lol, this is purely dependent on your taste. What is the colour of your other components?

What's your budget? I haven't suggested builds in a very long time but... isn't that CPU quite old now?

Your build is good and as stated above, you don't need an after-market cooler. Save the money!

If you're going to build in the next 3 - 4 months, you should ask then. Prices change a lot.

I do UI/UX design too. You MIGHT want to consider building a Hackingtosh or an equivalent iMac/Mac Pro. https://www.sketchapp.com/ is amazing and is made specifically for UI design. Will make you work better/faster. Additionally, you get vector outputs as opposed to Photoshop's raster.
