Need help choosing parts for a 50% productivity and 50% gaming pc
Hi guys, i'm building a pc that will be used 50% productivity and 50% gaming. Particularly programming, 3d modeling, and some video editing.
Here is the build i've come up with so far. I've omitted a couple things like gpu and case I will likely be getting those used. GPU-wise, I am planning on buying a 3070 used, if you were to recommend a different graphics card, preowned-welcomed, i would like to spend below $350.
Thank you in advance!
