  1. Thanks so much for the help! I figured that I went a bit overboard for performance. Everything looks good here so I'm going to forward this list to my friend.
  2. Budget (including currency): $1,500 USD Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Video Editing (Premiere & After Effects), Streaming (Using OBS), Gaming (Witcher 3 & Destiny 2) Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): A friend asked for help with building a PC since she's coming from a Mac. I'm not the best a picking parts, seeing as how I've yet to build my own PC, but I figured PCPartPicker and a bit of knowledge would bring me a decent part of the way there. I do have a parts list, which I would appreciate feedback on and also suggestions on where I could cut cost without sacrificing too much in terms of performance. While the budget isn't too limiting, I've already picked parts that exceed that by about $500 USD. I wanted to try and pick parts that would last her a fair amount of time, but I'm probably going overboard for what's strictly necessary AMD Ryzen 9 3900X GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ULTRA ATX AM4 Corsair RM (2019) 750w 80+ Fully Modular EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB Black Gaming Corsair Vengance RGB Pro 32 gb (2x16GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory Western Digital Black SN750 NVMe 500GB m.2 2280 SSD Samsung 860 EVO 1TB 2.5" SSD Western Digital Black 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD Corsair h115i RGB PLATINUM 97 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Phanteks Eclipse P350X ATX MidTower After looking for pricing and availability, I ended up with a total $2,070.91. Also, while she would like RGB Lighting, I'd prefer to focus on performance first and foremost. Even if that means she doesn't get much in the way of rainbows everywhere.
