Looking for Help with My Build

DavidD

My budget is $10,000. The current build price from Micro Center PC Builder is $8,558.72 before tax.

I'm a gamer and musician. I'm primarily building this with gaming in mind, but will be arranging, recording, playing a significant amount of music on this computer.

For gaming I will be playing First Person Shooters like Call of Duty, Third Person shooters like Division 2, and also with the odd RPG (e.g. Baldurs Gate 3). I do not care about raytracing. I did not see sounds cards as a an option in Micro Centers pc builder. But that will be something I am looking for as well.

For the displays, I do already have a dual monitor arm to support the dual displays stacked.

More than a little nervous at the about this as this is the most expensive build I have ever attempted. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to look at upping the speakers a bit more if you plan on using this for any kind of music production. I have a pair of JBL Professional Monitor speakers on my desk as I am an AV professional and want to hear the audio with as little compression as possible. The store no longer carry those, but I would recommend a pair of Mackie CR4 or CR5 speakers. Even the CR3 would be a significant upgrade at a pretty low cost.
