Hi LTT community! 

I'm planing to build a new PC, but i just want some advice before buying my parts so

 

1. Budget & Location
My budget is $1800 max, location is USA

2. Aim
Some content creation as well as gaming and graphic design

3. Monitors

I would like a big monitor, 27" or more. If 27" the resolution should be 1440p, if more than 27", 4k.

IPS preferable

 

4. Peripherals
No need to include, i already got that.

 

Also i want to make sure i ALREADY own some of this stuff, not need to be included in the partlist

  • Samsung 850EVO 500GB
  • DasKeybord 4 Ultimate Cherry MX Blue
  • Corsair M65 

Update: The case needs to be windowed, with tons of air flow, and have support for watercooling.

Update 2: The build color scheme will be be black, white and purple :P

K.... windowed side panel or not? If yes, any particular color you like?

Hmm... here. I went with a white theme, because I like it. Also worth mentioning, I went with an air cooler exactly because of that reason: it's a white one. In case you refuse yourserlf to do it, I suppose you can change it to this one: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/raijintek-cpu-cooler-0r100018
