This is my first ever build, so I'd like some input from other people before I finalize it. What I want to do with this PC: I'll mainly be using it for work, but I also want it to be able to run most of the games out there at the moment at maximum settings. I'm a web designer, so I'll be using Photoshop and other Adobe programs very often - most of the time simultaneously, so it has to be able to support that as well.
