Hey everyone, this is my first time I will be building a comp. I was going to buy a pre-made computer but I realized I can get more bang for my buck by buying the parts and installing them myself.
Here lies the problem, I dont really know what to buy, I have 3 monitors, speakers, and a mouse and keyboard already. I am looking to spend no more than $3,000. What I will be using this computer for is some gaming, but mostly work, I use a lot of programs like Photoshop, Cinema 4d, Maya, etc.
I went to Newegg and picked out some parts, can someone let me know if im missing any parts I would need to build the computer or if you have any recommendations as to different parts. Here is what I currently have selected....
