My " I've worked damn hard" PC Build. Can someone check it for me?

[Arez]

Hey guys!

Looking to get myself a killer PC gaming for the 2016 year. Ive worked damn hard this year to get my new business on the move, so its time i treated myself. Looking to do some gaming, but also some photo editing / Photoshop on the side. Can someone check this out, and give me a few pointers and comments for a lad that has yet to ascend?

How serious is the photoshop you're doing? Is it as a hobby or a professional level? And what's your budget?

Silver warranty is a must!!

My i5 is fine for the stuff I do in Lightroom and the little bit I do in Photoshop.
An 8 core i7 is total overkill for anything but intensive photo work, and equally total overkill for gaming.

You don't need extreme part to run Photoshop. My old laptop with an AMD E-450 could run it perfectly. I'm confused as to why people think it's really intensive.

 

[Arez]

I know Photoshops not that intensive. Id just rather put the money into the computer now ( for hardcore gaming) than worrying about it in 6 months time.

An i7 will last easily 3 years, having more cores doesn't make it better for gaming. You're best off getting a standard i7 and a single 980ti now and upgrading in two years time, since it will be much more price effective that way

Honestly I feel your rig is brilliant got game design, but a little overkill for gaming with your current setup for the screens you have chosen. I would suggest you step up the game (pun not intended) to some larger 1440P monitors. Unless of cource you chose 24" due to space limitations. And also i mean this in a funny voice.... WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN! GET A BETTER WARRANTY OR IT WILL COME BACK TO BITE YOU LIKE A SNAPPING TURTLE ON YOUR JIBBLEY BITS!!!!!! in all seriousness though the better warranty isnt a laughing matter. i have had three rigs from here now and i have been over-joyed when they had a hissey fit and the warranty was still in place two and a half years later. Trust in me!
