Hey guys, I'm an indie game developer seeking to build a new PC that can handle most of the upcoming games at 1080p and max settings and be able to work with Unreal Engine 4. I don't have a budget, but I want the best bang for the buck (as low as possible) and not an overkill.

Approximate Purchase Date: April 2015

System Usage From Most To Least Important: Game Development, Gaming, Web Surfing

Need A Monitor: Yes

Need An OS: Yes

Parts Preferences: None

Overclocking: No

SLI Or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Thanks for any response.
