I'm going to drop about 10k on a setup which will render videos, play games, photoshop whatever I want really. I need links and or a direct setup I can look for. PC Partpicker doesn't matter to me. Just someone who has great knowledge of computers so I don't waste my money.
 
Solution
This is the build I've decided to go with hoping it will get everything I need done. Anywhere from Gaming to Editing and graphic designing.

In Canadian currency. I have a monitor but its doesn't support hdmi. So basically everything brand new. I was thinking about recording gameplay videos and doing some heavy graphic designing. Heavy gaming aswell. I can get software another time just need specs/links or whatever needed.
 
My recommendation:

X299 has more cores but not showing clear edge in video editing, many modules/software still heavily rely on single core and 6 cores are sweet spot. 8700k has 6 core and 12 threads, can overclock to 5.3GHz and will be very good for rendering, single core is very strong, thus it is the king of gaming atm.
 


Also almost all major video editing programs now toss most of the workload onto the gpu so once you start going above 8 threads the performance increase starts to severly lessen.

This setup will handle any game at ultra, like basically runs everything at the highest it can go? Just making sure, I;m wanting to be able to run any game at anything with at least 2 monitors/ maybe three monitors. I also would not like to upgrade for awhile.

Edit: I removed the monitor because I felt it was overkill, plus I will have this hooked up to my home theater for sound if needed.

I have just one more question then I'll most likely be fine, I need to purchase a sli bridge but I have no clue whether my motherboard and two gtx 1080ti will require a 2, 3 or a 4 slot.
