Hello everyone!

 

Im not the best at pick parts and was looking for some help in putting together a build. i have $1600 and want a good gaming/ content creation pc. I do a lot of digital illustration working with large files in mainly Photoshop but also do a fair share of gaming. looking for a $1600 list OS included and an overclockable CPU. wanting a closed loop cpu cooler as well. any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

If he want to go with a 980, better spend ~100$ more and get 2 970 instead, it will be much more powerful

Also I only get a 120GB SSD since I dont know what's he doing, so about 50-100$ of those 250$ might go to a bigger SSD, and some more go into a better case :P
