Question First time Builder, Best PC Component's for $3000 budget

[Brandon Huala]

Main purpose would be as generally capable as possible I would like it to handle primarily high end gaming, and game recording, and also be able to handle something like secondarily Auto Cad or Blender at a high level if possible


I don't really have any preferences other than cost for anything like the motherboard or the cpu.


I would like any suggestions for the best components possible for this price range

Any feedback or comments would be appreciated.

I would like to know what the best CPU would be for Primarily, Gaming, and Game recording, but I would also like to be able to run something like Blender at a high level if that is financially possible. But the priority would be gaming and game recording.

My first build suggestion does all this for you. The best of both worlds

 

[Brandon Huala]

okay, Thank you for the build.
