Build Ideas

[dshealy21]

1. I'm located in South Carolina and my budget is around $2000 for pc+monitor.

2. This PC is going to be used with Premiere Pro, Photoshop, After Effects, Unreal Engine 4, etc. I use a lot of lighting effects and build landscapes with Unreal so having something powerful enough to run that decently would be nice.

3. At first I am planning to use 1 monitor, but will upgrade to 2 in the future.

4. Would like to have a decent mouse and keyboard that works well with these sort of applications. It doesn't have to be a flashy gaming keyboard. PC will run Windows 10 Pro

5. Really need a new PC that can handle the workflow of all of these applications since my MacBook Pro isn't really up to the task. Looking for one that is easily upgradeable with nice case that has a side window for viewing.

 

Let me know what you guys think, the help would be greatly appreciated.

Super powerful with RGB lighting synced across the motherboard, GPU, and case. 

If you want a case with tempered glass instead get a P400S TG or a S340 Elite.

GTX 1080 Ti with a 60Hz 1440p monitor? Just, why?

Not for gaming but ur right, 4K60 would make more sense, I prioritized RGB too much lol

Well, good point, RGB is always first after all.

[dshealy21]

Is there a 4k60 monitor you guys would recommend? Like I said earlier, this pic isn't at all being built for gaming. Honestly doesn't have to be flashy with a lot of leds (but some are nice!) so if that helps narrow it down a little bit more, the better.

Maybe an amd workstation graphics card too. I feel like it would be much better for 3D with a dedicated workstation card
