Decided to rethink my build after I've went from knowing nothing about computers to knowing way more.
I already have a semi shitty PC, but I'm building a mostly all new Desktop PC for 1080p 60fps gaming, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, and etc. graphics programs.
What I've come up with so far [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I want to stick with a 750w psu, and the MSI 390 gpu.
The psu, motherboard and cooler brand can change depending on if you guys think another is better for the build. I definitely think the processor can change. I currently have a Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80GHz processor. If you guys could point me to a processor that's a little faster whether it's intel or amd I don't care. Overclocking isn't a huge deal to me, but I guess it is a plus.
I already own:
Western Digital WD Green WD15EARS 1.5TB HDD
8gigs of ram
Speakers, mouse, kb
Budget $1200

You wouldn't benefit from X99 so I don't see it to be worthwhile and anyway, 5820K with a $45 air cooler lel. Plus your 8GB of DDR3 RAM wouldn't work with it as X99 requires DDR4.

I would get that, supports overclocking if you want, added SSD, Better case, and a nicer cooler on the GPU.

I like it. I want to see what other people think about this also. Do you know what's specifically better about this case, than the one I had on my build? Also are you sure this processor is faster than the one I own? Thanks.

Or even this

better CPU but no overclocking, has hyper-threading which you may benefit from.

Ew. The 750G1 is a shit PSU.

Add a 2nd 390 in XFire at any point if you wish. I'd be getting a 1440p panel with this rig though.

Hey bro do you know if that processor is faster than mine? I don't want to get one that's slower. I'm sticking with one 390, and I'm staying 1080p.

Yes, the processor is better. I'm not sure why you'd think anyone here is going to recommend one that is slower.

I was just making sure. I don't know how to tell the exact speed of each processor.

Please don't pay $25/30 more for a H440 because it has a razer sticker on it and green accents....
yes it supports overclocking.
also there are better coolers than the MSI one for the 390, which would be advised as it will keep overall system heat down.
Also like Sanctorum said, the G1 is poo, grab an evga G2 PSU instead as they are of better quality.
