Hi everyone,

 

I'm about to build my first computer to update from an extremely outdated desktop and would love if I could have your opinion on my parts list, I'm looking to play games like battlefield 1 at 1080p with 60 frames on ultra, Also want it to be able to render 1080p video as I make YouTube videos. I'm also going to be using it for Photoshop and illustrator and need it to be able to handle multitasking well. The computer will be hooked up to 2 1080p monitors and possibly 3 in the future. It is important to me that the pc is very future proofed so things can be swapped and upgraded easily. I already own the graphics card so that cannot be changed. Will not be overclocking at first but could do in the future. I would like the build to follow a black and white theme so keep that in mind if recommending parts.

 

I value your opinion.

 

Budget flexable but not much more than the Total.

Get a better CPU cooler and a cheaper (same performance) HDD and you're good.
