Starting a first build so please be patient with me haha. Sorry about this because you guys probably see a ton of first build posts. Im just curious about my specific situation and everyones opinion. I'm building basically a budget workstation that'll be used for 3d printing applications and CAD software. Trying to keep it somewhat future proof if i am able to bring and use it for college because I'll be going for engineering. I might play games occasionally but nothing crazy. My first question is should i change anything to better suit my needs? I coincidentally chose the cpu and gpu which both have aura sync so i sorta went with that. Any tips or anything for a first time build are appreciated. My second question is do you think any of the parts will be on sale over black friday/cyber monday? Ive read that there are barely any deals for pc parts. Any info is greatly appreciated and thank you! I could get a smaller ssd and an hdd but i enjoy ssd's a lot and dont mind spending a little extra there. Ill probably add another eventually. I believe all parts can be overclocked though i dont plan to do so because i dont think i have the cooling power to keep everything safe. Maybe ill mess with it one day.
