But I thought that the Quadro P600 was meant for applications like mine?
And I don't mind running my games of an iGPU. So should I put in something like a R5 2400G or an i5 8500/8600.

Please explain because it's my first time building a computer and I am looking to learn as much as I can

The 1050 ti destroys that P600 in nearly all tasks.

Good luck with that, most of those keys are stolen and when MS sees that they'll inactivate that version of Windows and you'll be out the money you spent. You can use Windows 10 for free inactivated until you can buy a proper key from a authorized retailer.

P.S.- I manually checked the 3 PCPP errors which came with my build- and none of them should be a problem (the MoBo page lists the CPU as compatible, and assures a BIOS update, and the M.2 vs SATA 6gb/s port tradeoff will not bother me now.

Please comment on literally everything in this build, including peripherals and be unforgiving- I wanna squeeze the maximum into this build for $1100 including OS, peripherals, and desk setup.
Looking for as many opinions as possible, and thanks in advance!!

  • ■This build contains everything- core computer, keyboard/mouse/monitor/headphones, and my desk setup (headphones stand, mousepad, lighting)
    ■I manually checked the 3 PCPP errors which came with my build- and none of them should be a problem (the MoBo page lists the CPU as compatible, and assures a BIOS update, and the M.2 vs SATA 6gb/s port tradeoff will not bother me now.
    Purpose of build: Desktop publishing, graphic design, Java/C++ coding, general productivity, light video editing, 3D-modeling (at some point in the future), light gaming, and watching movies.

    Now there are two things I want to ask:
    1) Have I managed to squeeze maximum value into my $1100 build?
    2) Will I need anything else at all to build my computer?
