Well it depends, because like I say, if you fit a monitor into that budget then that's about the best you'll get because a good monitor is going to take up the remaining $350. If you want a really good monitor it'd cost a lot more than that, but saying you are happy with a 1080p monitor then something like this would be a good choice https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cZwqqs/asus-vg278hv-270-144hz-monitor-vg278hv, but you arent going to get an IPS monitor for that price, and not a 1440p monitor over 60Hz either. Its a complicated subject lol. See the post I just posted here http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-3282767/1440p-ips-1070-recommendation.html#19062935

That's a pretty well balanced system with good quality parts, but there isn't a monitor and it falls quite a bit below $1500 so am not sure how you want to work it?

You'll need a good CPU for 3d rendering, and the 6600k would be bare minimum for those tasks at high performance.

It's an ok monitor lol. Big screens at 720p arent a great idea, especially with PC's. Really depends whether you want your system to look good on screen or perform well at rendering.

If you got a 6700 then you'd have a more powerful system. \if you got a new monitor the reults would look better!

And yes that ASUS monitor is a lot better than the one you have now.

Well if you can afford the 6700 AND the monitor then sure, but its better that you understand what to look for and get whats best for you.

It all depends how much you want to spend and what you value most. Take some time to learn before spending that kind of money, that's my tip!
