Hey guys,

I have created a list for computer parts, I mainly a designer but also a gamer so I will utilize all four of the monitors mentioned. But need help to see if i could improve the whole setup anyway. I already have a computer but first time building one. 

Cheers!

For starters, if you are going to be 3d rendering I think 32GB of memory is a good upgrade. Also perhaps a Ryzen CPU is better because of the cores. I would get a better headset. Also a GTX 1080TI? Save $100 and get a cheaper motherboard. Something like the Asus STRIX Z270H will do.

Currently doing graphic design in Uni, mainly images but have done some 3d model renders before. 

 

 

Your list is fine. Although a m.2 ssd would be better than a regular ssd.

Also don't forget to check the sRGB & adobe rgb values of the monitors for better color accuracy.

Does look really matter that much to your build xD?

Dropping all the insanely expensive addons you have, you can save over $300.

RYZEN with ECC sounds great. like i said if you still want looks, then get some ram covers for the ECC ram >.>
