Need Recommendation for B&W PC build!

[arhjaye]

Hi! I need a recommendation for a black and white theme build with a budget of 1.6k inclusive of monitor and OS. Have got a Samsung evo 250gb SSD already.

Will be using it for Photoshop, premiere pro and after effects and would like to play 1080p games decently on it as well, no need for super high fps.

Many thanks in advance!

Thank you! If in future I wanna add another SSD or HDD, can I remain the same PSU? and for the OS, anywhere else I can get it cheap? Will be getting the build next week and g2a seems to be out of stock for quite awhile already.

I did managed before about $10 less than overall listed price.

Core i7 will cost $150 more, but what sorts of editing are you doing?

$10 less for each item? Or just $10 off total price?

I'm not sure exactly but planning to self learn after effects with this new com. Read that editing and rendering is quite cpu dependent so was thinking to get i7.

$10 less total la. If able to get $10 off each item i think i should also run for election next time with that convincing capability.
