Help Building a Workstation under $2,000, please?!??

[tblake0409]

Hey everybody,

 

I'm looking for some help building the best WORKSTATION PC for my money.  I know I probably want a THREADRIPPER in there and probably the THREADRIPPER 2950.  I can't spend more than $2,000 but i really would like if it were more toward the $1,500 range. 

 

I edit videos, do some 3D modeling, make animations, record music and make graphics.  I know its a lot but I just know I need a really good workstation style computer to make it the best for what I need it for and I figured people in this thread would be able to help me better than anyone else!

 

Thanks in advance for everybody's help!!
