Hello everyone,

price range= $2-$3k

I am looking for a new PC, I am currently a full time student for animation and 3D models for video games. I am looking to start my own Youtube channel and Streaming on Twitch, so I need a rig that multi-task, plenty of storage, fast, and can run most games on at least high settings.

But I do not know what to do I have found some sites like ironside or cyberpower who will build me a PC with everything I need but I hear bad things about CyberPower. I know people will tell me to build my own but thing is this will be my 1st build and do not want everything to go wrong and I am sitting at home with parts.

I want tons of memory, dvd/burner optical drive, need a gaming card that will allow me to record and stream on the PC. Basically I need a computer that can handle all that plus console recording rendering editing and a triple screen set-up.

I do not need, mouse, or screens I already found good deals online, or keyboard I am getting a corsair.

So anyone have suggetions on where to go to get one built or if I am to build one myself some tutorials on how to build.

I did the price factoring and both cyberpower and ironside will build computer I want within my price range $2-3k.

I also added the prices online to build my own and they are about the same.

PLZ HELP NEED THIS COMPUTER SOON.
