Help building a PC for 3D rendering/animation/gaming under $1500
Hello,
I have never built a PC before, so I don't have much knowledge building one.
My primary uses will be 3D work using softwares such as 3D modeling/animation/rendering. I will be using software such as 3DS max, Mudbox/Zbrush, Photoshop,Illustrator and Unity3D

I would also like to play games such as Far Cry 4 on good setting.

If anyone can please help out with a build it will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
