[UPDATE (had couple of older threads 1 old, one that updated late)] Hello! I'm looking to build a PC for the first time. I want a build that can handle Adobe Photoshop as well as handling gaming nicely (titles such as BF4), and the occasional video editing. My price range is somewhat flexible (under $1250), and I want this computer to last and perform well with no need to upgrade parts (needing higher performance parts to handle new games for example) in the next 3-5 years at least (not sure if this is practical)? My configuration is:
o Motherboard: Asus Gryphon Z87 LGA 1150 (expensive, cheaper alternatives?)
o CPU: Intel Core i5 4570 (3.2 GHz) QUAD CORE 84W
o RAM: Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 (2x4GB)
o Graphics Card: EVGA Superclocked GeForce GTX 760 2GB
o SSD: SAMSUNG 840 EVO 250GB Solid State Drive (for fast OS and favorite applications)
o Hard Drive: Western Digital WD10EZEX 1TB 64MB Cache (7200 RPM, SATA III) [lots of storage for photos, videos, etc.]
o Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 350D (w/ window)
o Power Supply: Corsair CX500M 500W 80 PLUS BRONZE Modular Power Supply
o OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
Thanks in advance for any feedback and please let me now if not only these parts are all compatible but if there are alternatives I should consider! I also NEED WIFI on this PC and am debating over a PCI card or a USB adapter :/
