Hello everyone,
My name is Alberto Barroso, this is my first time building a PC and I'm in need of some good advice. I've got no experience whatsoever, just know the basics.
The main goal is to build a powerful workstation dedicated to 3d modeling and rendering.
Anyway, here's some information. Any help, advice, opinion or suggestion is highly appreciated.

Budget Range: $2,900 - $3,200
System Usage from Most to Least Important: BIM/3D modeling (3ds Max/Revit), Rendering (Vray/MentalRay/Lumion), CAD (AutoCAD), Image Editing(PS), Audio Editing, Video Editing (multimedia).
Parts Not Required: Keyboard and Mouse (I'm open to any suggestions though)
