Hmmm if its light photoshopping then no need go until I7 ba. i5 should be enough le. and as for ram, go for 1600mhz ba. its a few $$ extra. lastly if not overclocking, there is no need for aio cooler :)

1) If playing games and using Photoshop, an i5 is enough as both programs do not benefit much from Hyperthreading in an i7.

2) Nobody sells DDR3-1333 RAM anymore in SLS, get DDR3-1600 RAM instead.

3) If not overclocking, the Intel stock cooler is good enough and you do not need the CM Seidon.

4) Add in a SSD as your boot drive to make your system faster.

5) If not doing RAID, you do not need a H87 motherboard. Get a H81 motherboard instead.

6) Use the $$$ saved to get a R9 280X and enjoy playing Battlefield at max settings.

Suggested build list:

CPU+ Mobo: ASROCK H81M-HDS + i5 4460 (312)
RAM: G.SKILL PC 12800/1600MHZ DDR3 CL11 VALUE RAM (102)
GPU: POWER COLOR R9 280X 3GB TURBODUO (418)
SSD: ADATA SP900 128GB (99)
HDD: SEAGATE 1TB (73)
DVD-RW: SAMSUNG 24X DVD-RW SATA BOX (25)
PSU: SEASONIC S12II-Non MODULAR 620W (99)
Case: SHARKOON V3 ATX CASING (59)
OS: WINDOWS 7 HOME PREM (120)

Total cost: $1307

Buy at PC Themes, #04-15, and ask for discounts. DIY yourself. If you can't into DIY, pay another $30 for assembly.
