yes I do I will always say get i7 if you can but I am not going to tell someone to spend outside of their budget either I'm not ghot,

I have explained this many times on i7 and money spent is actually paying for itself(many regulars here can testify to this or simple search on my user name), but fact remains he has never said for a living either and has a fucking budget

and OP's time of purchase isnt until december so many things could change by then

Great will get you a i7 build instead. Do you prefer small or regular size format factor?

I think it's safe to assume that if your first 4 specific PC uses are Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya / Blender, and Animate CC you probably make some money using them. At least, I hope so. O_O

The cpu is already twice as powerful without overclock. Compared to the 6400.
And again gtx 1050ti. It's more than strong enough for the games you mention.

I like this.

Aww you to kind. You are now my favorite person in here.

Well not for a living yet, Im still studying to be a graphics designer.

Hows the new macbook?

I love my macbook! I have to carry it every day to school so its always with me, haven't got anything I don't like about it yet!
The screen took a while to get used to (13") and the storage is really small because i dual boot windows ( to play games of course ). This is what buying a PC would solve.

Honestly, Macbooks are super outdated as far as hardware goes. I think Apple is announcing a new line this week, though. You should have gotten a Surface Pro if you wanted compact performance geared toward graphic design / media stuff.
