Best PC for 3000 dollars?

[N00b1]

Hello all, this is a new user on Toms Hardware (using my friends account) and I was interested in joining the "PC master race" I wanted to build the best bang for the buck PC for 3000 dollars as I have no knowledge on PC parts. I was hoping you could help me as it'd be very appreciated. I wanted a build that can handle any games thrown at it in 4K, as well as a PC that's lightning fast in terms of desktop and editing performance. As long as it's powerful and under 3,000 dollars it's fine. Thank you! 😀 (I would also like to note that I want a PC case that's full tower or larger)

It will be LGA 2011-V3 based.
So an X99 mobo and Xeon CPU.
Butt load of DDR4
With two 1080s
1000w PSU

That is as good as it gets right now, at this moment.

there the newer brodwell-e cpu that just drop that are more then 4 core cpu chips. there not cheap chips whe nyou go 6 or more cores. latter on this year the skylake e and new mb are dropping that are going to replace brodewell0e chips. on the 1151 chip mb intel is dropping soon the kurby lake and 200 chipset an update to skylake. these i7 chips are better price point. there 300.00 for the top of the line chip.

Yes I noticed the Broadwell-E, and was wondering if i7 6900k is worth it over i7-6850k?

"Best bang for the buck" doesn't really belong in the same sentence as "PC for 3000 dollars". You're obviously free to spend your money how you wish, but just know you're long into diminishing returns by the time you get to that price range.

as the new 6 core cpu and mb is close in price if your building right now go with the brodwell and e99 mb. it has more pci lanes then then 1151 mb. if your waiting for newer cpu and mb get the skylake e at the end of the year.
