The monitors are all 4k currently. I use obs, adobe after effects, microsoft visual studio, google chrome running about 20 taps, and my favorite program I run is a few games. Games are witcher 3, far cry primal, and a few older titles

Do you do any colorwork? If so you might want a Quadro otherwise a (or two) 980ti paired with a i7 or Xeon (Don't know much about Xeons except they are good for rendering and similar tasks) and 32GB Ram. Then a SSD and HDD combo. 

Hey there. I am trying to get my hands on a good workstation. I do some gaming but most of the time I am working on creating programs, answering tickets, or working on certification training. I was wondering is the top end dell percision 10 core exon ok or should I save the money and build my own? I use my computer daily and I need it to power 3+ monitors
