Hey, I want to get into building my first PC. I don't know a whole lot about PCs but I have been able to find some parts that I think may suite my needs. I plan on using Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom on this PC. These are the parts that I found. Is this build good? And are there any recommendations that you would make to change this build? Thank you in advance!

Hey Gabriel,
The build looks great to me! If you want, you can swap the PSU for a stronger one, so you have more headroom for future upgrades. Something like 650W or 750W would be optimal.

Looks good to me though, overall - go for it! ;)
