What kind of PC Build for gaming and drawing?

[Radorun]

Hello,

I've been thinking of building a pc, but since I'm a beginner and not really sure about the parts I should choose, I wanted to ask you. The pc will be mainly used for gaming (MMORPG, latest games etc.) and drawing (Photoshop: making it possible to smoothly work on a 3000-4000pixel piece).

Mind that I don't need to go crazy on the parts, like getting the latest CPU, since I'm not performing very intesnive tasks on the pc. Maybe an i5 would be good and I'd prefer a nvidia graphic card over amd. But you guys know better. I'd wish games like Black Dessert, Witcher 3 and Overwatch to run smoothly. It's not a neccessity for the graphics to be on max while playing them.

My budget is around 400-600euros (450-680dollars) and I'd like to know what is the best build I can get for my usage with that amount of money.

if you could turn it up to 720$ this would do everything you asked for perfectly:
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZjNKHN + Radeon RX480 4GB when released or 30$ extra for the 8GB version
or this for 715$

Since the Radeon RX480 4GB/8GB will not be released until the 29th of June, would Asus Radeon R9 380 2GB/4GB, for example, be a good replacement? Or would you recommend something else unless you think waiting for the Radeon RX480 is worth it.

I'm over budget too, but I assume that you need a OS. The RX 480 will be a little bit better than the R9 390, so unless you can pick up an R9 380 for about €90, I would wait for the 480. You can use your i3 video IGP until it's available.

If you don't care about having a decent case, you could save money there, but I like having a good budget case like the Corsair SPEC 02/03 or 200R. The D3H has an extra x4 PCIe slot for future upgrades (e.g. USB 3.1, NVMe SSD.)

Wait for the RX 480. Definitely worth it.

You will barely be able to run The Witcher 3 at a good FPS with your budget, save a bit more money and then buy a quad core processor.

Here are some youtubes of The Witcher with the 6100 and GTX 960:
