Need help for Workstation/Gaming pc

[Jp1]

I am going to college soon for graphic gaming and simulation programming, but I have no idea in what specs would be great for programs like maya, OpenGL, or 3D max. I had some ideas, but I settled to hear someone else’s thoughts before I make the final choice for the build. My budget is at a minimum of $1200 to $1800

Country? Need peripherals/monitor/windows? 

Have any build plans currently?

This is probably enough for you. For the case, I thought it was cool :v

P/S: Without peripherals and monitors.

OP said that he needs this PC fr work ND gaming...

P2000 won't serve him that good in gaming.  

Moverover 1080 is a beast when it comes to gaming...

 

Also...OP can cut some corners ND squeeze in a 1080ti

Oh didn't see the gaming part. I saw the graphic gaming and thought he was gonna do some graphics rendering.
