New year, New Build!

[NinjaSato]

Hello everyone! I am currently looking into updating my current computer which has components that are probably 10 years old now. I will be using this computer as a workstation and gaming rig. I will be doing some Video editing in Adobe Premiere, coloring in DaVinci, and some photo editing in Lightroom/photoshop. For games, I play alot of FPS such as Destiny 2, Overwatch, Battlefield, Fornite. I also play some MMORPGS.

 

Monitors that I use are a 4k Dell for photo/video editing, I call this my workstation monitor. And for gaming I use a ASUS 144Hz.

 

any help is much appreciated in making this new rig epic! My current budget is about $3000

Looks good! are you planning on upgrading the CPU in the future because the X299 platform is expensive for an 8Core. I would almost lean towards AMD Ryzen 1700X. Save a good chunk of money and have better overall performance. Second that EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 is overkill and overpriced. I wouldn't pay more than $750 for a 1080TI. Not when the new cards are less than 6 months away.

Thanks for the reply! So I was thinking of eventually upgrading the CPU down the road once the gen 2's starts to come out. I was hoping to kinda future proof for the next 5 years. hence why I was thinking of going for the X299 chipset. Also since the market went to crap with GPU, what would you suggest instead of a 1080 Ti. Since this was also a workstation for video editing, I was thinking either a 1080ti or some sort of SLI would be good.
