so i need you guys to give me a list of hardware for this range of price. i want to get an upgradable PC that i will able to chnage letter, i will chose 1x8 gb of ram and i will upgrade it to 32 gb ram( 3x8gb more) also if i can ignore to purchese VGA card i will do it and buy it letter :)

the things i will not need:
-OS
-Keyboard/mouse
-speakers
-monitor
-case or powersuply (i see almost case come with power suply) but if i can get better powersuply for better performance why not :)

and also i would like to buy an drawing pad if i have enought money left :)

Minor revisions over BadActor's build... 2x16GB and left two memory slots open, added an SSD, changed to a GTX 950, and also added a quality PSU. The GTX 1060 is nice, but a bit of overkill for your rendering and modeling. Regarding a PSU, look toward XFX, Seasonic, or the EVGA G2 lineup. Otherwise, filter through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list. www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

hi sadams, actually I will chose 2gb of VGA to save more money and good to upgrade in next day. but the question is why 3gb of VGA is a bit overkill then 2 GB for rendering?

and also thanks for fast response and solve, i am felling good with BadActor's suggeston and fell better wit yours :)
thanks alot.
