Within the next couple of months I am planning on building a gaming rig. Probably start buying in September to November time frame. The focus of the build with be gaming although I will be doing some coding.

I would like to add water cooling in the future(not to be included in the budget) also, I will overclock. My theme for the case will be baby Blueish/white/gold (Zeus) so I 2ould like some rgb. If possible I would love to play 4k in the highest setting possible within the budget. (3000$ to 3500$)

Budget Range: 3000-3500$ before taxes
System Usage: Coding, Gaming, internet browsing.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes

I recommend waiting 2-3months as new hardware is gonna launch around October. The CPU, Motherboard and GPU are placeholders and actual prices may vary(probably there will only be a marginal difference).
