£1000 build for a friend for gaming and photo editing

[grimreeper132]

Quite simply I have a friend who is wanting a new PC for college, and has a budget of about £1000, (including monitor) and was thinking something along these lines would do, he's not overclocking, but I have put a B board in because he might in the future, maybe, it canny hurt to have it anyways. I am trying to buy everything through amazon cause it makes life so much easier. (list below)

What good monitors is there in this price range for photo editing and gaming (of course gaming here is less important than his college work). Also any changes that would save a bit of cash would nice as long as they also don't mean the PC ends up in a case which is painful to look at, etc. 

 

Programmes he'll be using are,

Adobe photoshop, Lightroom and sony vegas. As well as some games he has, probably a few newer titles.

that's quite difference in price had,  the Samsung S24F356 is a good monitor in that price range you're looking in

[seon123]

The GPU is not in stock for that price. So you'll probably have to swap it for a 1060. 

You can get a PSU with way less wattage. A G2 550W or RM550x maybe

Apart from the PSU (I know it's big enough for it but overclocked it wouldn't be, which is something that may happen at some point) it looks a nice list, so I might change it and possibly thee HDD, as there is a 2TB one for £10 more, which he may as well get

Even a 1080 Ti and a i7 at load won't consume past 400w

 

Here is RX 580 at load

 

 

But regardless, the PSU you chose in the build is green label CX which isn't good. Look at PSU Tier LIST for recommendations

I'd get a Seagate Barracuda 2TB instead. And A400 SSD hasn't been reviewed and looks to be as mediocre as most SanDisk SSD apart from Ultra II
