The budget is USD $700. No peripherals. Not looking to oc.

I am not looking to play a lot of games. But I will be using this for GTA 5(Not looking for amazing quality just something playable)
Graphic Design(Cinema 4d, Photoshop) Mainly
Video Editing(Sony Vegas, After Effects) Lots of rendering.

An SSD is not needed right away however it is good to have. Get a current generation GPU. The best mid to high end GPU is defiantly the R9 280x or 290. The GTX 970 still beats those but is a little more expensive.

Much Better Build

Add SSD when you can

I personally think the SSD is highly important. Just to be sure I don't lose any of my work. But thanks for finding the less expensive ram.

I think this is what I'll go with.

I'm pretty set on this build. As I need a good Graphics card for what I will do.

I'm not looking for another build just curious if this seems fine. Will all my parts fit and be fine to work.

Terrible waste of money.

The 280x is not current generation. The 750Ti is the most recent NVidia offering in that price/performance range so is more "current generation" than the 280x. The case you suggested is over-priced, and the PSU is poor quality.

The R9 280x is a great price to performance ratio and please tell me a good PSU. U say every damn psu is bad. Like for real I suggested a build with a psu U GAVE ME and u said "psu is shit" like what the hell dude make up your mind

I never said the 280x wasn't a card, but you said it's "current generation", and it's not.

"please tell me a good PSU."
It's not that simple, different PSUs make sense for different rigs.

"U say every damn psu is bad."
No, I tell people that poor quality units are just that, poor quality. I feel like it's necessary to inform users since I'm here to help and a shitty PSU puts your entire system at risk.

"Like for real I suggested a build with a psu U GAVE ME and u said "psu is shit""
sources? Show me? Don't just claim shit and not back up, smh.
