Can anyone make a PCPartPicker build for gaming, video editing and rendering. I've tried so many times but I just can't seem to do it. The $2000 budget includes a keyboard, mouse and headphones so please factor that in.

 

Thank You

 

Edit: No OS is needed

Edit 2: Sorry for making this harder but the 2k also needs to have a preferably 144hz 1ms monitor

Do you play football/soccer?


Cause you look like a left-back

Gimme a minute.

 

Edit: It's not a thing of beauty, but it'll stomp on everything. I squeezed in a 1440p monitor, not 144Hz though. But it is IPS, and you can OC the monitor to 75Hz, a very nice difference.
