Hi, I need help building a PC. I am planning to buy an Intel i5 6600k and I just want to have the experience of building a computer. I am going to mainly use this PC for Photoshop, After Effects and some light gaming. I'm just looking for a few recommendations.

 

I need a recommendation for:

- a motherboard

- RAM

- power supply

- graphic card (don't want to spend TOO much)

 

I have a case, optical drive, and peripherals in mind already.

 

Thanks!

For potoshop and After Effects you're better off with an i7, I'm sure you can fit it on your budget.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

And if I had an extra $50, would you recommend spending on the CPU, RAM, motherboard, or the graphics card??
