Budget Build for Gaming/Designing. Feedback greatly appreciated.

[Akim33]

Hello! This is actually my first computer build and I would love some feedback on my build.
This is a budget build, so my price range was $500-$650. Here is what I have so far:


Processor: AMD FX-6350
-
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P
-
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti
-
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 8GB
-
HardDrive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
-
Power Supply: Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt
-
Case: Rosewill Redbone U3


As a graphic designer, I use Adobe products, mostly Illustrator/Indesign and occasionally
Photoshop and After Effects. Gaming-wise, I don't expect to run every game on ultra-high
graphics. Medium-high is fine.

As for my CPU, an AMD seems to fit my budget. Of course the Intel i5 would be a great
upgrade, but the FX-6350 seems to score some great benchmark scores for its cheap price.
The amount of cores is also a plus. Always room for upgrades in the future.

But of course, I only know so much. Some feedback and advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

for your budget it is the best
im a freelancer graphic artist too
but i think keep saving money so you can have an i5 or FX8320, trust me its worth it, besides you are earning because of your computer, so why we have to keep the budget tightly?
gtx 750 ti will be well for you . look at my rig (hover your mouse on my profile pic)

i have an another option for you
get the
CPU,i5 4460=$190
MoBo,gigabyte H97M-HD3=$95
RAM,Crucial Ballistix 8GB=$90
SSD,crucial mx100 120gb=$85
HDD,seagate baracuda 1TB=$55
PSU,Seasonic S12II-520w 80+ bronze=$65
case,Rosewill Redbone U3=$50
TOTAL $630

add later
EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti=$170

you can still work using IGP(you can play almost any games(except for nextgen games) with low/medium settings in playable fps)
then when the time you earn enough money you can now buy the gtx 750 so you can play games on high/ultra setings on some games



incase you will need an OS
CPU,i5 4460=$190
MoBo,gigabyte B85M-HD3=$75
RAM,Crucial Ballistix 8GB=$90
SSD,crucial mx100 120gb=$85
PSU,Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt =$50
case,Rosewill Redbone U3=$50
OS, windows 7 =$100
TOTAL $630

add later
seagate baracuda 1TB=$55
EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti=$170

use the SSD as storage also for a while 120gb
