I think my plans are finally taking shape. Following almost a year of planning and saving i think it's finally time to take action. This should be my last go around for suggestions and parting out before i order everything. Any and all opinions are welcomed! My pc is going to mainly be used for photo editing and gaming most of the time. Little background on me I have always been into photography and gaming on console and a small amount of pc gaming. Well April 1st of 2016 I was diagnosed with late stage Ewing's sarcoma (bone cancer). During my treatment i stumbled upon a computer build log on YouTube by Linus tech tips and the only thing i could think of was how Amazing the computer looked and ran. It imiditaly peaked my intrest in Pc Building, So i told my self if i made it through chemo and radiation that i would build the ultimate gaming pc MUAHAHAHA!! So here is my plan. Ive saved up 4000 usd. In addition to my pc parts picker list i also need to buy a computer chair and would like a recommendation for one.

I also want to say thank you to everyone in advance for all your advice.

Since you're going all out may as well get a kraken x62. Oh and I would recommend trident z rgb instead since you can sync it with your mobo and gpu with aura sync.

 

Other than that I don't have too much to say... maybe consider an ultrawide monitor instead? That's about it though.

 

Oh, you also might want to consider waiting a few days. Intel is launching their next architecture on August 21st, so it's probably worth just waiting until then.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
