New PC (Jack of all trades)

[jercan]

Hi,
Just thought I'd throw this spec out for feedback.
The primary use for this pc will be for digital art; photoshop clip studio, sketch-up, using dual monitors (supporting video playback while using using one of these).
It will also be used for casual gaming, movie watching and general office work/word processing. I've pretty much maxed out my budget here at £1200. I'd be curious to hear any input, especially about the RAM, as I'm not sure i need the DDR4 @ 2666MHz (a min of 16gb for ps and cs is a must), but ideally I wanted to get as high a spec as I could afford.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

M.2 SSD Drive
500GB WD BLUE™ M.2 SSD (up to 545MB/s R | 525MB/s W)

A 500gb Samsung 850 Evo from the Hard Disk section would be faster.

Graphics Card
6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 - DVI, HDMI, 3 x DP - GeForce GTX VR Ready!

Do you need all the VRAM? If not the 3gb version will offer very competitive performance for less £.

Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-7600 (3.5GHz) 6MB Cache
Motherboard
ASUS® PRIME Z270-P: ATX, LG1151, USB 3.0, SATA 6GBs
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2666MHz (2 x 8GB)

Unless what you're doing is really dependent on RAM frequency you could just get the H110M-R mobo off the Home and Office configurator and save a load of £. A Z270 mobo + i5 isn't great value in many cases.

Processor Cooling
INTEL STANDARD CPU COOLER

I'd suggest the Titan cooler

Thanks Oussebon!
Appreciate the comments. I guess I probably over-egged the specs a bit for the sake of saving later upgrading. I could probably get away with dialling it back a bit.

Thanks again!
