    Your basic gaming setup should be the following with extra if you wanted a bigger ssd like the samsung 850 evo 250gb or even the 500gb version if you had need for it. Now about photoshop etc, is this a casual thing you do some times or you do alot, maybe some pro work? Cause that alone can get you to a different platform and budget. Ie since the i7 6700k isn't worth the money atm you could go to x99 with a 5820k.

    Thanks fot the reply Kostattoo after seeing your build and looking on the internet its the i7 4790k better than the i5 6600k i know the i7 its a 1150 socket and the i5 1151 about photoshop and those programs i do some jobs, cause i have a career on graphic design, i use more photoshop and illustrator than the other ones to make flyers, invitations and those stuffs, i dont make a lot of jobs just like 3 o 4 peer week, the video stuff its a hobbie so it can be relevant

    Unless you do heavy 3d rendering, which sounds like you don't, i think an i5 should be enough. The i7 4790k is better cause it has hyperthreading, but unless you are certain your software does actually benefit from it then it would not offer you alot more, if at all performance. There is software around that only benefits from real cores and not hyperthreading so there it would make almost 0 difference.

    As i mentioned atm the i7 is not worth it cause you can build an X99 build. Even i7 4790k build won't be much cheaper. So the build i linked with i7 would be close to 1100$, when you can build the following with less:

    Either way, whichever you choose i would grab that cpu cooler and power supply fast now, the cooler usually goes for 70$or more and the psu for around 100.
