Hey, what's up guys! I'm going to take some Graphic Design classes and some Motion graphics class this fall. I want a to build a desktop just because I feel more comfortable in them. I'm a noob at looking for the right parts so can any of you guys help me and hook me up with a build? I know I can easily get a Mac but ugh Apple. Lol please, and thank you :)

I'm saving up, around $500-$700 not sure if that's a good amount

Does that include an OS and peripherals like a monitor, keyboard, etc.

Most of those classes require, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Photoshop, and DreamWeaver 

Assuming you have peripherals already.
