Hi guys i am new here.. Im a web designer and i really need help on building a computer. I use teamviewer, photoshop, fireworks and dreamweaver, sometimes we use after effects and premiere for presentation, we also use CAD tools like sketchup to do some 3d layout. I can not find anywhere the perfect desktop build for web developers. My max budget would be $1200

I already have this: mx100 128gb SSD for OS and applications and 2 dell u2412hm monitor.

Designers prefer mac for the reason that they can use windows on the same machine but i cant afford it cause its really expensive.

My motherboard should not be fancy as long as it can run the processor well and ram is compatible.

I wont be overclocking but if non k is just few dollars savings over K version well i would jsut pick the K

GPU, this one really confused me but i am pretty certain that gtx 750 TI would be just fine im not sure. I use dual monitors.

RAM i plan on using 16gb as long as its compatible with the motherboard

Power supply, modular and non modular i wouldnt be needing the fancy feature right? cause my clients wont look at whats inside my cpu lol

I need to save on things that i dont actually need, so pls help me.

Thanks in advance

First, $1200 is quite a bit! Are you looking for the best you can get for this price, or do you prefer a lower budget?

Designers prefer mac for the reason that they can use windows on the same machine but i cant afford it cause its really expensive.

Would you be interested in building a "Hackintosh"? (Google it.) That would affect your hardware choices.

Edit: Are you in the USA? And do you need to buy a copy of Windows? (That's actually a really interesting question in general.)
