PC for GAMING & ART PROGRAMS

[vincentphunglieu_shikara]

Hey Guys.Greetings everyone, I'm in the search for the right components to build my first computer and I truly have no idea of how to build a computer from scratch so i need all the help i can get. I'll be using the computer firstly for Adobe & Autodesk programs and similar applications, and then for Gaming (games that are graphically demanding. EG: Destiny2)
I have an $1800 dollars (not including peripherals) top budget but I think a little bit can be added to it.

What PC components can I downgrade & save money without sacrificing too MUCH performance?

P.S. I live in Australia (Difference between the value of currencies)

Old gen I7... Too many overpriced components... You will need 1070 to run 2k... My edits with your budget:

2k -> larger monitor is better but you can change.

Appreciate the help. Sorry, I may have changed the budget to $1800 (without peripherals). But thanks though!
