Iam doing my first build and would like to know what processor and graphics card should I get as well as what power supply, I do Photoshop and illustrator work and game overwatch, WOW and a couple of others but that's it. I know Intel is slightly better optimized for Adobe better than AMD but for the price to performance AMD wins. But either way I do light Photoshop work and and game, what would be a good set up.

 

Oh and I have my case it's a 

Phanteks eclipse P300 mid tower atx

 

I live in Utah and my budget is $650-700

Mostly Overwatch, WOW, Shadow of war, and SWBF2 that's honestly all for me nothing more than 1080p due to my AOC monitor being 60hrz 1080p

I don't think I mentioned it above, but that is a gorgeous case. Do you have any plans to do led lighting strips inside? As for the mobo size, honestly I just picked the first one I saw under $100.  That said, it doesn't have the best vrm's or power delivery for the cpu, so I wouldn't push for super high overclocks there. And, if you want a little extra gpu horsepower, you can find used gtx 1070ti cards on ebay for just under $300.
