I need a PC for software design, editing, gaming, and daily internet roaming. The only peripheral I'll need is a monitor. USD and thanks for future suggestions.

Can probably save a few bucks here and there on a few things like CPU cooler, DVD drive, and I switched the OS out for an SSD since most people just pirate the OS anyways. You can also switch the monitor out for something cheaper, I put a 144hz on there but if you dont want that you can get a cheaper one.

i appreciate the suggestion, but i could save money on a monitor, get a better processor, case, and i see you skipped out on a quality psu and a subpar gpu. As well as a cooler that is slight overkill for a build like this, but like i said thanks

Yea, working and saving, seems pretty normal for the average person to do. Just be smart financially.
