$850 Build - Gaming & Productivity

Hardware Build a PC
1

Hello everybody! 

 

I want to build a PC that is at MAXIMUM (I can't be more clear with that number) $850. I already have monitors, OS, keyboard, and a mouse. I am a Computer Science student so I do programming and enjoy playing video games. I do some Adobe product work as well, so if the parts list could be tailored towards those software products it would be appreciated, but absolutely not necessary. I don't care if we go AMD, Intel, Nvidia, don't give a shit. As long as I'm getting the bang for my buck I'm thrilled! Thanks ahead of time to anybody that is willing to help me out with this! I really appreciate it!

Adobe product

Please define, Adobe has a lot of desktop applications that can run on any build. But if you're looking into AE or PP then it'll change the recommendations for CPU and GPU.

Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator

+1, although I don't know if that power supply is any good or not.

I' ve read a test about the 400 watt model and it did very well.So i think the 500 w version will be fine too.
