My budget is $800; i can get away with 1K, but im not sure if its necessary.
I would love to play games and am excited at the notion of outdoing my XB1, but i mostly need it for heavy graphics design, video editing, etc.
I have pieced this together from many posts.
First off, is it all compatible? Ive never built a computer before, but i can manage.
Second: Is it overkill? Could i pull back anywhere? Money isnt exactly the issue, my boss is paying for it, but i think over 1K and i might have to contribute which is fine.
