@boggy77 I redid my calculations taking into the fact that i will be working less in the new year, and I can only really save around $700, brining my budget up to $2400. I put this together to take that into account: PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wQc3wh CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9 GHz 8-Core Processor ($339.00 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: be quiet!

I did some research and the programs that i will be using wont be effected (except for render times) by the cpu drop until you get to massive projects.

I built my first computer in late august of this year, but made some decisions that I now regret, so when a friend offered to buy my current build for $1700 USD, I decided to go for it.

I am now looking at a new build for around $2400 with the goal of 1440p 165hz gaming and streaming (Destiny 2, RDR2, R6S, etc.), and 3d modeling and animation.

Thanks, I took out the aio. Is it important for me to get a couple of fans for the front of the case?

How good is the stock cooler? I've generally heard that most stock coolers are pretty bad.

I have posted a few posts like this before, but, for real, I actually will be building my first PC in a few weeks. My budget is about $1700 for the PC, but I really want a rift s, which I included in the parts list. I currently only have a 1080p/144hz monitor, but I'm planning on getting a 1440p/144hz around black Friday. Mostly will be used for gaming/streaming, but also light content creation and 3d modeling (Premier Pro and Autodesk Maya respectively).

ok

Thanks, I switched to a dark rock pro 4 for the cooler, the MSI MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE mobo, and a supernova g3 750w psu.

Also, will the graphics card fit in the case? Any help is appreciated!

Thank you, this looks like what I want!

How much slower would it be? Would it still be able to support 144hz?

I was looking at an AMD system, partly because it's cheaper (generally) would there be any draw backs by going with a ryzen 7?

Ok, great!
