Hello!
First time PC builder here looking for advice on a high-end PC primarily used for gaming, photo and video editing. My max budget is $3000, with the inclusion of a monitor, and keyboard. I would also appreciate the build to be future proof if feasible (hence the 4820k? and the 32gb of Ram?)
Here is my PCPartpicker List for the parts that I have chosen:
