Keep in mind Linus and staff from LinusMediaGroup doesn't often post here, it's mostly forum members that do.

If you're on a tight budget and want a good PC, it's probably not worth it to go for a desk PC like this. You're basically spending a ton of money on the materials and tools to make it, while the alternative would be a plain PC case for 30-90 USD.

 

If you want recommendations on the sort of PC you're building, people can certainly help you with picking out parts here. Just mention the sort of things you want to do on the PC (like is it a gaming machine, or is it only for web dev and graphics design? What games/programs? etc.)

The combination of a good CPU, with some more cores than most, a videocard which can do hardware acceleration (CUDA), 32GB of RAM of the heavier vector tasks and After Effects would help too.

Of course a fast SSD, around 500GB to even give you some space to store current project on, but another HDD is a good to have too. Of course do look into a good backup solution, so mission critical information is not stored on just one drive in your PC.

 

This is the sort of PC I would recommend for your use case.
