I'm looking for a Desktop that can handle heavy Photoshop files, with Illustrator or InDesign open at the same time too. I also want to be able to run most games to the max, not necessarily the latest games but something like the Witcher 3 which currently sends my laptop to space. I can stretch to £2,000 but I want to leave some money for a good chair and monitor too (possibly around £400 for them). Last time I posted here, this was the suggestion:

Is this still a good configuration? What sort of things could I change and what would the effect be? (e.g. do I need two SSDs, would one 256GB be enough; is there an optimum power supply; how future proof is this build). Many thanks!
