First PC Build

Hello one and all,

 

  This is my first time building a PC. I spent a lot of time researching into the technology and the parts that I could need for my future PC, but there is only so much I can retain and understand so I turn to this community for the first time (and more than likely not the last time) for your help.

 

The Pc I want to build is not just for gaming, but I am hoping to be able to run photoshop (possible other Adobe applications as well), make my own games(Coding/running engines) in the future, and for using a stylist for making Art. I have a skeleton for what I think what I want to use, but any and all suggestions will be very well appriciated.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k

 

Mother Board: ASRock Z97 Extreme9 Atx

 

Case: Cosiar Graphite Series T230

 

Operating System: Windows 7 Premium SP1

 

I am also going to use an Air cooled system as well so any advice is welcomed on the topic as well.

 

My Budget is about $1,500 I am willing to fudge it for a better PC. I am looking forward to your responces, thank you.


[Edit]: Alright I think I manage to put something together from your suggestions, tell what you guys think:

I would switch out to Windows 8.1, because MS is about to drop support on Windows 7, and Windows 8.1 is not bad. Do you need peripherals and monitors included in the list or no? Welcome to the forums BTW!

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Thanks, I didn't relize how much more I could spend without depleting my wallet. As for the peripherals and Monitors I am all ears for what anyone has to say [Edit]: and I will also have a seperate budget for those.
