Approximate Purchase Date: Over the next 2 months.

Budget Range: Under 5k

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Work station + gaming. In use 12-14 hours per day.

Parts Preferences: No particular preference, but I am interested in trying the Ryzen processors and Corsair parts when suitable.

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1200

Additional Comments: My work involves graphic design, 3D modelling and video editing. The build is below. I am aware that the CPU cooler will require a separate mount for the motherboard; the case is already purchased; and which 2080 TI I get will depend largely on availability at this time.

I'm upgrading from my Apple workstation. I've already switched to Windows 10 two years ago so I am already converted from software, it's time now for the hardware jump. Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi there. Yes, I've had my Apple tower for 10 years and it's time for a change!

Currently I have a mix of SSD and HDD for my different work and storage requirements. I'll be looking into that a bit later as I consider new RAID possibilities and external storage.
