Hey everyone this is my first computer 
I have a general jist of what to include but not good with whats compatible and so forth when it gets into the more nitty gritty IT areas haha! So I'm a student which I would like to have this rig for a decent while with the availability to upgrade graphics cards in a couple years or earlier if necessary and add the extra ram if needed I will mainly be using the computer for 3D modelling within Maya, (the main program I will be using) with maybe some Mudbox. I'll also be doing some rigging in Maya also . I won't be hardcore gaming or anything like that, I usually only play Wow every now and again and maybe some League of Legends here and there and wouldn't mind being able to play these on high or ultra haha.
this is what I have so far! (the prices are what I'm looking at in Australia building through MSY since thats the only place i've had experience with computer parts before ) I'm trying to keep it below $2.4k just tower wise only, feel free to make adjustments since I'm not as savvy as you guys! thanks heaps
