I am looking to do graphic designs and some gaming. Here are the programs that I plan to use, and I would like to exceed the minimum requirements, but i don't know which is better than the other, and how that works.

That card is more than powerful enough. If anything I'd say it would be a waist to spend that much to do that stuff, but always good to be able to do things more demanding later on and true gaming too. But I wouldn't say it is better than all of those, although you listed the mobile 4XX's a non-mobile GTX 480 or may e even 470 too would be faster, also I know some of the HD5XXX's would be faster, mainly the 59XX's. But what is the rest of the system so we can make sure it will even be able to make use of that card and it not go straight to waist.
 
..waste...waste.

would help to know what the rest of the system is, and i dont feel that would be a total waste with photoshop taking advantage of gpu power now...so go for it if you have the dough, but knowing the other parts of the system will help.
 
If anything we need to know the power supply cuz if it isn't one of a small group of brands and a high enough wattage then there is a good chance it could blow and take something or everything else with it.

This is the updated cart with a new graphics card, I already have a case, and monitor. Also can somebody tell me if this is all compatible with each other, this is my first ever build.
 
If you ever plan to overclock you want a 2500k if you haven't already bought the stuff. Also pcs isn't the best brand, they're just decent. If you can then grabe a corsair, xfx, antec, silverstone, seasonic, or pc power and cooling. And all you need for that gpu is about 600w. Otherwise look at a gigabyte ASUS or asrock mono, just a little better brands. And you also need an os if you don't have one
 
I don't plan on over-clocking, and what do you mean by pcs i dont see that anywhere. And thanks for reminding me to add an OS.
