New Build

[SilentHunter76]

I'm building my first desktop computer. I am upgrading from a workstation laptop from CypberPowerPC I got 2 years ago now on sale. I do lots of video editing as part of my job and play video games like FarCry 5 and Rainbow 6 from time to time. I'm currently editing videos shot in 1080p to 4k and some 2D graphics from time to time. I live in the US and have about $1,600 to play around with.

I plan on getting a curved monitor for editing and studio monitors. This is not included in my budget and as long as it's "worth the money", practical, and not super expensive I'm open to anything.

 

Monitor: Samsung CFG7 Series C24FG73FQN Matte Dark Blue Black 23.5" Curved FHD 1080p 1ms 144Hz AMD FreeSync Monitor ($300)

Speakers: PreSonus Eris E3.5 3.5" 2-Way 25W Nearfield Monitors (Pair) ($100)

 

Any feedback or suggestions would be great. I'm not honestly concerned about the looks and more focused on a solid build without breaking the bank. Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to help me out!

Looks like a solid build. I'd personally get a WD drive instead of a Seagate, but I've just had bad experiences with Seagate drives, so I don't really suggest them to anyone

Seems like a solid build but I like a speed advantage I’d get with the NVMe drive. What would the advantage of that Asus motherboard be? I’ve never been good at comparing them.

I would suggest a better quality psu.

 

Unless you want to overclock, consider getting an i7-8700. Doing so allows for a 1TB NVMe drive. The performance difference between the i7-8700 and a stock i7-8700K is note noticeable.
