Budget (including currency): $1600 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AutoCAD, Revit, Vectorworks, EASE, Pro Tools, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premier, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After Effects. All of these are large CPU intensive programs which most may be open at one time. Minimum 32gb RAM is required for my purposes. Minimal gaming will be done, but the games that I do want to play would run no problem with the build I have in mind.

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 am wanting to build a custom rig for my work as a draftsperson, photographer, and Sound/Media designer for the entertainment industry. I need a machine that will not get bogged down by multiple instances of processor intensive softwares running all at the same time. I need at least 32gb of RAM and at least 1TB of local storage, but when it comes to picking out motherboards, processor chips, graphics cards, etc, I am totally clueless. I will also be running 2-3 UHD/4K monitors with anywhere between 3 and 7 USB peripheral devices. Any advice and knowledge that can be provided is greatly appreciated.
