Hello,
So i'm looking to do a first time build, and just looking for some advice on what i've picked out and if certain parts are worth it for what i intend on doing.
I'm in the UK, price wise i'd like to keep it max £2000, can go slightly over, but currently the build is coming in at just under £2000.
The system will mainly be used for 3D artwork so, Maya/Max/Modo, Zbrush, Unreal/Unity, Substance Painter/Designer, Photoshop etc. It will get used for gaming every now and again but i doubt i'll be looking to play in 4k or anything like that, not anytime soon anyway.
The reason for the 1080ti is due to Substance relying on graphics memory, so the more the better.
I have windows 10 on my current machine so i haven't included that in my build, i need to double check i can transfer it over.

I've had mentioned to me i might be better off going for faster RAM as Ryzen will benefit from that, was looking at possibly moving up to Corsair Vengeance (2x16gb) 3000mhz, which will only add about £30 to the overall price.
I don't think i intend on doing much overclocking with it, outside of the CPU as it seems agreed that it makes more sense to go for the Ryzen 7 1700 and then overclock that over going for the 1700x or 1800x. (Correct me if i'm wrong on that one).
Also wondering from a motherboard point of view if the Crosshair VI Hero is worth it for what i want to do, or if i'm better of possibly even going to a B350 board. Or should i stick with the Crosshair VI but get the version with inbuilt Wifi and drop the dedicated card.
Thanks in advance.
