Hey, i need help picking parts for a Black and Red PC Build. The build will be used for Graphic Design (Adobe PS & Illustrator) and Gaming. Please include an OS and some form of WiFi, and a Windowed Case. If you can make the PC upgradable in future that would be awesome :)

Thank You !
 
Solution
Two open memory slots on the B150 chipset for a memory increase down the road. Upgrade the GPU as you see fit when / if you need more GPU power. The 550w PSU will handle the GTX 1080 or "below", however the GTX 960 will be all you need for graphics work and can handle good 1080 gaming. Drop the CPU to the i5-6500 if you can't stretch the budget a bit...

overall the build is gud but i think op wants a red & black setup...
also gtx 960 over a rx 480 is not a gud option... http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3106887/480-gtx-960-fps-difference.html

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Thxmas : "$1300 AUD Gaming PC"

Hey, im building my first PC and i don't know what components to choose. Ineed a Black and Yellow PC build for $1300 AUD, i'd rather a windowed full tower or mid tower case, but mITX or mATX is ok if necessary. I do also do some graphic design work but gaming is the priority. I do plan to overclock a bit, but not a lot.

Thanks for your help :)
