$2000 workstation/gaming

Go to solution Solved by ManIkWeet,

How good is asrock?   I have heard some bad things about them.

ASRock is decent, I built 2 computers with boards from ASRock, not a single issue. The only downside so far is that the UEFI BIOS is kind of cheapo, but perfectly stable.

 

(Slightly dated by now, not overclocking boards)

I only have $2000. I need a pc for video editing, audio stuff, gaming, and the usual internet browsing. I also need a 20+ inch Monitor. I want Intel . six cores is preferable. 5820k?    ( I use adobe premier, aftereffects, unity game engine ,and blender) 

 

Must haves:

  1. ​Intel (six cores)
  2. Run battlefield 4 45fps
  3. Decent looking case
  4. semi-silent
  5. At least 20" monitor

Looks don't matter to me.
