Upgrade WAY Overdue

[Flyguygamer]

Hello all,

 

Been out of the game a while but it's time. 

 

1. Budget & Location

$2000 USD. Local to a Microcenter store - Denver, CO.

 

2. Aim

Light video editing and 3d rendering and gaming. For games I'll be looking to play current AAA titles and MSFS24

 

3. Monitors

Currently 6 monitors at 1080p, eventual upgrade path is probably moving to 1440p. Requirement to run 3 from primary graphics card for surround use, 1-3 of the others can be run from integrated graphics if equipped or I'll keep using my old 1050Ti to drive the remainder. 

 

4. Peripherals

No peripherals for now. Will need Windows 11 pro OEM.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

Long overdue for a new system. Currently running an I7 4790k and a GTX1070

 

5. Misc.

Ram - 64gb, ideally 2x32.

Storage - 1-2TB M.2 SSD and probably a 6TB HDD. Ideally 2 for a raid 1 but not a requirement. 

CPU - Historically I've been a diehard Intel user but I'm not as familiar with the current market so open to AMD or Intel options.

GPU - Would like to stick with Nvidia, probably the GTX5070 but open to other recommendations. 

Preference is for air cooling CPU over AIO options. 

ATX motherboard preferred.  

Not opposed to RGB fans/case/lighting but definitely not a requirement.
