Intel Core I5-4590 build - Help

[wildtree]

I want to keep the case(personal preference), I'm running windows off the solid state and the other for files. No overclocking

In terms of use it'll be general (Microsoft windows programs), running adobe graphic design programs and not too much gaming but if I do max age of empires 3 or something oldish

The rest I'm fine changing if it'll be cheaper or better..It's my first build so I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to computers although I've researched the components a lot

Budget = 1,200 AUD

Looks ok to me.
Good choice on your parts.
Make sure when installing the OS, only have the SSD plugged in only. After the installation then plug in the hard drive. If the hard drive doesn't show up, go into Disk management and right click on it and select "New Simple Volume"
