Build Upgrade, Advice Needed

[HighTech Media]

Hello guys, I am planning on upgrading almost everything, you could consider it to be a new build. I love to hear other's opinions though; I currently have this setup:

 

Case: NZXT H440 Red and Black

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46 ( http://amzn.com/B0073JYZ48 )

Processor: 4130 AMD AM3+ @4.3Ghz ( http://amzn.com/B0093HDM3I )

RAM: Corsair Vengance 8GB ( 2x4GB )

Video Card: EVGA GTX 760 ( http://amzn.com/B00DHW4HXY )

Memory: 128GB Samsung Evo 830 SSD

                1 TB WD Blue Hardrive

CPU Cooler: Corsair H105 Liquid Cooler ( http://amzn.com/B00HKEI3EY )

PSU: Corsair 600 Watt PSU

 

I have had that setup for 1 year and a half now and it has never failed me. I am able to run any game at ultra settings, I am able to edit and render videos, and use photoshop

(I Am A Graphic Designer). I Am not looking for a extreme professionally advanced editing pc; I just want something that will get the job done right and better than my current setup.

I Am moving more towards music aswell (Fruity Loops). I Wont be gaming really, its just an editting pc. I love my current setup; I just want to move away from it and try something else.

This is currently what I have on my list, let me know what you think of it please. I want to have something that I can settle with for a while. I Dont upgrade much, just memory maybe.

Here are my questions. Is it Good for my needs? Will it run better than my current setup? Anything I need to know?

 

My List:

Case: AeroCool MicroATX Case ( http://amzn.com/B00G3TVEH0 )

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-HD3 ( http://amzn.com/B00FKK7A5I )

Processor: AMD Quad Core A10 6800k ( http://amzn.com/B00CPLGGXM )

RAM: Kingston Hyper X 32GB Ram (4x8GB)

Videocard: EVGA GTX 760 ( http://amzn.com/B00DHW4HXY )

Sound Card: Sound Blaster Z ( http://amzn.com/B009ISU33E )

Memory: 250GB Samsung Pro 850 SSD

                2TB WD Hardrive

CPU Cooler: Corsair H105 Liquid Cooler ( http://amzn.com/B00HKEI3EY )

PSU: Corsair 750 Watt PSU

 

Im open to any recommendations, let me know what y'all think of this list I made. Keep in mind Im not the richest, I don't need something fully advanced.

I'd suggest getting a ssd and see if you still feel like upgrading afterwards.

 

This belongs in the New Builds and Planning section. I'm moving the thread.

Please post in the correct sub-forum in the future.

some advice:

1: dont buy an 850 pro, theres really no need for it for daily use over an evo.

2: if you wanna go amd, maybe check out an 860k, not an apu

3: why 32 gigs of ram?

 

idk if im seeing this all wrong, but there are some imbalances here.

There are the things I already have now. Im in the US, I really don't have a budget but I also don't want to spend alot of extra money for something that won't benifit me.

Im a graphic designer, I use Photoshop, After effects, Cinema 4D, sony vegas. I want to start making music aswell.

It's a great build, I see why it's good. The problem is; I wanted to get a new case AeroCool MicroATX Case ( http://amzn.com/B00G3TVEH0 )

That's why I chose a microATX mobo, it would fit me more, I don't need an ATX mobo cause I will never use the extra pci slots, just the Videocard one and 

for the soundcard.
