Hello everyone!
New user, long time lurker
I'm hoping to get some advice on which components I should use for my new rig.
Basically, I do professional graphic design and Video editing work. I work with pretty much all the programs from the adobe master suite and I usually have 2 open at the same time at any given time.
I'm currently running a pretty crappy laptop hooked up to a 20" relatively accurate TN monitor and I really want to utilize the full $4000 to get a proper desk setup with 2-3 IPS monitors, a proper mechanical keyboard, a logitech MX performance mouse (one of the best mice out there in my opinion) and a relatively 'future proof' system that will last a good 6-10 years of work.
This has to be an absolute power horse and $4K is really the most I can spend.
I have no real preference for parts but I do want the following:
~More than 2 TB of storage
~All peripherals including Speakers, monitors, etc. (No need for headsets)
~Some sort of wireless adapter
~Anything and everything I need to get up and running as soon as I build it.
Hope I was somewhat specific. Thank you in advance!
