I want a gaming type computer and I will use this pc for performance intensive gaming, photoshop, and sony vegas 13. I've decided to go for rog boards because they are gamer focused and I really like their performance and the design. Also, im going for a full tower because full tower cases offer great airflow and great customizations. I am going for a 1440P resloution.

P.S. Do I need two hard drives for work and games? Or should I just get a 3TB hard drive?

Motherboards don't give performance.

For $2200 you could do better.

This is slightly better and $100 cheaper. I could make something better for the price, but I don't know how much you care about specific parts, so I limited my changes.

I would go with your advice, but I cannot get EVGA power supplies because EVGA does not have a South Korea market. So if I buy EVGA's power supply on Amazon and if it breaks, I cannot get service.

Also the power supply needs to have a Korea plug version(Corsair has it).

I also need thermal compound because it offers better cooling performance.

You should have mentioned your location since you aren't in the USA. I can't give an real advice except that your cpu cooler comes with thermal paste, so you don't really need to buy more. Also, you should get a single hard drive if it is a similar cost/capacity.

I am going with a tier 1/2 power supply because they are known to be safe and they are optimized for overclocking.
