[ahpauking]

Hi bros! i researched quite abit and decided to make a list as follow, hope to get feedback on the setup. Thanks!

Mobo: Msi z97m-G43 + i5-4690
Gpu: power color r9 270x 2gb
Ram: Ddr3 corsair vengeance pro 1600mhz of 2
Hdd: wd 1tb blue
psu: Corsair 650w
Sharkoon t28 case
Wn 751nd pci wireless

Samsung s24d300h 24" monitor.

Will this be suitable for recent 3d pc games + video(vegas) photo (ps,lightroom)editing?

Don't know got anyone selling that mobo, but z97m gaming should have

Do you need a mATX motherboard? Because the case you chose supports ATX motherboards and I assume you're not overclocking since you've chosen a i5-4690 (non-K) chip.

You may want to consider the MSI H97 GAMING 3 motherboard
MSI USA H97 GAMING 3

1) Name all 'recent 3D PC games' that you want to play with this rig.

2) Budget?

Uh, I'd suggest a R9 290 or GTX 970.

An R7 270 doesn't touch the Witcher 3's recommended requirements and that is a game that isn't too far off.

Unless otherwise stated, buy at PC Themes, #04-15, and ask for discounts. DIY yourself. If you can't into DIY, get PC Themes to assemble for you for a fee.

Notes:

1) Due to lack of budget, a more powerful GPU is not affordable. A R9 280 is included in the build instead and this GPU should be capable of playing the latest AAA games at High settings in 1080p. You may want to get another 8GB stick of RAM in the future as 8GB of RAM may not be enough for photo/video editing.

2) An SSD is included as the fast write/read speeds of a SSD will help you to open and save large media files faster than a HDD.

With or without monitor 1.5k?

He's already got a monitor.

He's already got a monitor.

Not 100% sure, but judging from the wording, TS may have originally wanted the Samsung monitor for his/her build and thus he/she actually has no monitor.
