I'm looking for the best Specs (& if available website) for a roughly 2000 pound gaming and game design PC for personal use.

I'd be looking to get the best graphical settings possible @1080p 60fps for the latest games (Battlefield 1, Mass Effect Andromeda) and also the ability to run editors like Unreal Engine 4 and 3DMax.

Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor are already available to me so the entire budget is for a PC

Thankyou.

Could go with a 7700k/z270 setup and just change those two parts

Left room for a 1080ti which I think comes out this week.

Also probably should add a 1/2/3tb Platter drive whatever fits your needs

Kabylake will give better gaming performance, Ryzen has the upper hand at game design tasks.
