New Build Guidance

[BigWalkingCarpet]

Hello All,

 

This is not my first build, but it has been some time since my last one, and I was hopping to get some feedback about what I have chosen, and if there may be better options. Here is my info and what I have chosen so far, any feedback s appreciated.

 

1. Budget & Location

Shooting for ~$2500, but can go higher if needed, max is $3000. Live in the US, Illinois to be precise.

2. Aim

This will be both a gaming rig and what I use for work, which can vary from web design, graphic design, video editing, and general web browsing. I play a variety of games from Fallout 76, PUBG, Battlefield V, Battlefront II, to even Minecraft. I also record/stream on occasion as well.

3. Monitors

I run 3 monitors, and multitask frequently. I don't typically game in surround, but will have the game on one monitor while having other programs running on the other two. I run all 3 at 1920x1080  @ 60Hz, no current plans to get higher refresh rates as I'm not looking to buy 3 new monitors currently. 

4. Peripherals

I will be reusing the current mouse, keyboard, webcam, etc. that I have on my current build. I intend to use Windows 10 as my OS.

5. Why are you upgrading?

I'm building the new rig as I'm ready for something new, my current system has been mostly stable until recently when I started getting blue screens when trying to run too many things as once. The hardware is approaching 5 years old, so I think it's time for a new system.

 

Here is what I have from PC Part Picker:

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you all might have regrading this.

You don't need to have all your monitors be the same. Get a high refresh rate nice monitor and keep the other two to either side of it. It will be symmetrical still so it shouldn't be too bad if nonuniformatiy bugs you.
