Hello, I've been deployed for a while and I'm looking to return home and build a beast of a rig.
I'd like to do video editing, graphics, and gaming. Budget is 2.3k.

Any tips or suggestions to get me up to speed with all of these new chipset releases would be great!

This will be a great rig for gaming, capable of 4k 60hz or 1440p 144hz, great for editing and graphics with the 8c/16t ryzen 1700x plus 32gb of 3200mhz ram. Went with a black/red theme and the azza 310 inferno case, because although it's not actually on pcpartpicker I think that it looks reaally nice.
