Hey guys!

Just register and been creeping on this forum for a while now searching up for custom build gaming PC's.

I'm a filmmaker and also a semi-hardcore gamer as well on my free time, which I have a lot by the way :).

I'm looking for a rig that can help me render faster at the same time play latest games for the next 1 or 2 generation... So I heard RAM memory clocked at 2133Mhz is suitable for editing and rendering.

I remember there was a question to fill out around on the forum somewhere but can't find it.

I'm planning to buy 2 monitors and a mouse and a keyboard along with the PC parts as well so don't forget to add those in!

Thanks for reading a helping me out.

EDIT - Forgot to add I want dual graphics card. :) And is dual CPU possible?

Dual CPU probably isn't necessary.

Either pick one monitor or buy 3, two isn't a good choice for gaming. I would recommend a mechanical keyboard as well.
