Just need to fill out motherboard and GFX card
 


What sort of board do you want, give us a clue, colour scheme ? ATX, mATX etc ?
 


Its my first build so im not too sure, i think id prefer to go for a ATX, For colour scheme, Im going to work it around the board!, I do like GFX cards that light up with the GEForce logo, but im on a budget so if there expensive im obviouslly going to have to drop that feature🙁
 


Have a look at the MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon, one of the best audio chips, and loads of lights, scroll down a little bit on this page and you'll see what I mean: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html#productFeature-section
 


Okay ill check it out, what about the MSI B350 TOMAHAWK, Also any ideas on Graphics card?
 


Okay thanks, and for a budget rig, what GFX card you recommend? Wont be doing any gaming really just photoshop editing ect.. Some CPU based games
