Afternoon all, I've put together a list of a build I'd like to do:

Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI - Intel Core i5 6600K Bundle **£20 Saving** Gigabyte £293.98

Dell UltraSharp U2515H 25" QHD IPS Professional Widescreen LED Monitor - Midnight Grey £239.99

Sapphire Radeon R9 Nitro 380 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11242-07-20G) £179.99

Kingston Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C15 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (HX424C15FBK2/16) £79.99

Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E250B/EU) £77.99

EVGA Supernova G2 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £74.99

BitFenix Ronin Tower Case - Black £69.95

Seagate 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD - OEM (ST2000DM001) £59.99

Alpenföhn Matterhorn Black CPU Cooler £39.95


Total : £1,140.92

End goal is a photo editing computer for my business hence the IPS monitor, but I'd really like to get into PC gaming too. I am seriously excited for Fallout 4 in November!

What are the opinions on this build? Am I putting too much money in certain areas and not enough in others, or is it pretty balanced?

Keyboards and mouse I have lying around the house so they will do for now.

This will be my first build, I'm planning to do a build log from a noob perspective :D

Thanks folks!

The most demanding software will be most likely be Photoshop and Lightrooms editing large RAW images. I would also like to be able to play games like Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout on high settings.

That 8 pack bundle does look very tempting! better spec that what I original posted, I'll tally up how much it would cost for the remaining componenets
 
Seems like it would be getting to around £1429 which is a bit too rich for my budget :(

Went a slightly different approach and found a cheaper IPS monitor which has good reviews.

How do you post a basket using edge?
