First Build (Mini-ITX)

[j0shrt]

Hi, I'm looking to build my first system in the near future but although I like to think of myself as being quite capable at knowing my stuff when it comes to computers and tech, I lack the confidence when choosing parts for a computer build. I'm looking to build a Mini-ITX form factor PC, nothing flashy just something that will get the job done when it comes to minor video editing and mainly photo-editing in Lightroom and Photoshop. Can people take a look at the parts I chose on PC Part Picker and tell me if there's any changes I need to make, anything I could swap out for something better, especially in the graphics card, this is the area I struggle with the most. I want something that can handle light gaming on occasion will run both photo-editing softwares and could support monitors past the 1080p range.

 

Thanks, look forward to hearing your replies,

Considering I don't know what you mean when you say cuda I'll say no, I currently only own a Sony Vaio laptop.

Change the 970 for a 390 then. Can you give me a total budget?
