First build. Please help if possible.

[spotato27]

Budget (including currency): $1500

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Premiere Pro, Sibelius, Heroes of Newerth, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, etc. Some gaming, some general workflow. 

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): 

 

I'm including the PC Part Picker list. Are there any issues I might run into here? I'm planning to have dual monitors with the basic dell being used in portrait mode for workflow things. Do I have enough power? Any compatability issues that PC part picker is not telling me?

The list is fine, but are you really gonna spend 550$ for a monitor? That's more than you CPU+GPU budget.. And your GPU isn't gonna keep up with 144 FPS anyway in most cases unless you reduce settings quite a lot or you just play MOBA level games.

Parts are fine but I hope you're not actually paying that for the monitor. It's more than twice what it should be.

In most games it'll go well over 100 fps. You don't need to hit 144hz to make the monitor worth it, and you certainly don't have to play at max settings.

That's really personal choice. I'd never buy a monitor worth more than half system, and I'd always go quality over FPS. Maybe he does too, that's why I'm asking him.

It's not the fact that it's $550, it's the fact it's MSRP is $249.

Scammy amazon third parties back at it again I guess. At MSRP is a good price then.

At that price point get an MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX. The Asus B450 boards are terrible.

Cheaper and better. If you need to drop down to $1500, do for a 1080p instead of 1440p monitor.

Thanks for all the input, fellas! I appreciate it!
