How's my build? Image/Music/General

[Auego]

Hey everybody, so I decided to finally make my first build ~

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2mFEL

I bet my build looks super patchy to all you guys, I'm sorry if I missed something completely obvious xD I've never built or read about computers until this week so please do let me know if there are any ways I can improve or change this build.
I would like to use it for livestreaming, photoshop, movies, lots and lotsa tabs (lots at the same time) and stuff like that ^^

Also of course I'm not going with a graphics card, but for my needs it's not worth it right?

Thanks so much :3

It looks excelent but for gaming you should have a gpu

I bet you are an audiophile so you might want to add one of this

and you might need a graphics card but its really optional, it might help you with boosting your photoshop experience.

check out this build and you can consider it if you got the budget.

CPU: i7 4770 non K model because I think that you're not overclocking.
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Because its super quiet and if you dont mind the looks. 2nd option is Be Quiet! Dark Rock 2 but its 20$ more expensive but I believe its the most quiet and good looking Cpu cooler out there. perfect for a silent build PC
CASE: Fractal design Define R4 case, again Silent optimize and great looking case, it has white color option if you prefer white.

GPU: again its optional, Intel's integrated chip (HD4600 in i7 4770 not the HD4000 in i7 3770) can perform the same as 50-80$ gpu. But having that R7 260x you can have an option of getting 3 monitors. I was thinking when you said you open up a lot of tabs then with multimonitor you can put your browser tabs at one side and your other programs like photoshop to another.

Great suggestions, thank you! I probably don't have that full budget, so I'll probably still keep the Gpu out of the picture and add it later, but i'm glad I have your suggestion on one.
If I were to overclock would it be better to go with the i5-3570K or some oc i5 rather than a bound i7? I've been debating back and forth what I should do for my cpu and considering I've never really used nice computer I don't know if I'll be making full use of the i7..
That sound card >> I probably will make super priorities for my first upgrades on one

Actually i5 is enough and don't go with ivy bridge, haswell has better integrated graphics than ivy, since you are not getting a dedicated graphics card.

Overclocking gives you only like 10-15% improvement overall not actually a necessity if you are not using CPU hungry programs or games.

its like for example video editing. if you are rendering a full hour video then you can save 1 minute of rendering time in a full 15 minutes rendering when overclock.. so if that 1 minute is crucial to you then you need to overclock. But really the 4670 or 4770 with K or not is powerful already. just with K you have to option to boost your cpu a little bit.

But in your case since you are not in gaming and heavy programs like 3D rendering / Video editing. then 4670K or non K is enough, you can also save 100$ in order for you to get that soundcard.

actually I feel like I was going to suggest the 4670k to you since you are not doing CPU intensive programs, i5 4670k is plenty enough. Getting i7 4770k gives you a slight advantage on programs, and the only thing that separates i5 and i7 is hyperthreading.

Ohh'kay got it! I'll keep browsing around with your suggestions and improve my build, thanks much :3
