I'm going to be building my dad a PC for his work. He will be using it for web browsing, making trades on a trade platforms as well as some 3D modeling. It needs to be something quick and reliable. He cant have it freeze or anything while he is trying to make a trade. The budget is like 2000 USD. He plans on using 2 or 3 monitors. Also we will need to buy a mouse and keyboard. As I stated before my dad needs a fast PC for work and he doesnt have a desktop pc currently. He is currently using an old laptop from 2010 built by a local PC building company located in my state. Please suggest parts for this PC build or make a full list on PC part picker and I will review it.

This build uses workstation grade gear to ensure the computer has zero problems when your dad is trading or 3d modeling.
I also threw in MX brown keyboard and a mx master mouse.
