Im looking to build my first Desktop, and looking for a bit of advice. Now i only intend to use this build for Adobe's After Effects, Photo Shop, and a bit gaming (maybe Crisis 3, Battle Field 4)and things in that area. Now i'm only looking to play at the resolution of 1366 768 and looking for about 20 frames and up, i'll actually settle for 15 and up. So here's what i have on my list so far.

Memory: Kingston SSD Hard Disk 120 GB (for a boot drive) and W.D. HARD DRIVE 2TB GREEN
Processor: INTEL CPU I5-4440 3.1GHz 6M 1600 HMz LGA 1150
Graphics Card: XFX R9-280X 3GB DDR5 Double Dissipation
Motherboard: Gigabyte Motherboard H97-D3H Socket 1150
RAM: Kingston RAM Memory 8GB-DDR3-1600 MHz

and for now this is what i have, i'm yet to find a suitable tower casing, decent power supply, DVD Drive, and i think that's it, if i'm missing something please do tell, and will this be worth the money if not what should i change. Also if you can let me know a couple of options for a decent power supply that will support the Graphics Card and all other things.

Thanks ahead of time!:)
 
an i5 4460 is about $5 more than the 4440, and has a 0.1 ghz higher clock speed. In my opinion you might as well grab the 4460, other than that it seems fine. A case like the BitFenix Neos might suit you, it's a nice looking budget case. As for power supply I'd recommend a 550W 80+ Bronze XFX PSU. And just get the cheapest optical drive for $15.
