Budget Range: $900-$1500. Lower is better, but I want as much quality possible in this price range.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: This will be my design computer. I am graphic designer using Adobe's creative cloud programs, pc must be able to run multiple programs at once. I will be using Illustrator, Indesign, photoshop, lightroom, and some video editing work as well. No gigantic files. No 3D modeling. I am interested in gaming, but that definitely takes a backseat.

Are you buying a monitor: No, I have dual monitors.

Parts to Upgrade: I am building from scratch.

OS: Yes. Will need to buy newest windows.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: PC Part Picker
Parts Preferences: Whatever will be the most reliable long term.

Overclocking: Not familiar with this or if it is necessary for design?

SLI or Crossfire: Not familiar with these, so I assume no.

Your Monitor Resolution: Current 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Additional Comments: Most of files will not be stored locally, so a lot of storage is not important (1TB enough), I would really like to get two SSD to speed up my programs and booting up. I would like this to be a machine I can upgrade down the line if needed, I am very much a novice so looking for quite a bit of advice!

Thanks you!
