This PC will mainly be for playing all current gen games at high/ultra settings, some photoshop along with other editing software. I'm not sure if these specs are high enough or if they are compatible despite what pcpartpicker states. Are the parts good quality? Can I downgrade while keeping relatively the same performance?
I will be using the old hdd for a month and a cd drive from old computer until i can save up for newer hardware in about a month. But that shouldn't be a problem right?
