Hello,
I am an experienced graphic designer/ video editor, but not a Techie.

I'm looking for a powerhouse that can handle large projects in software programs such as

Photoshop
Illustrator
Corel Draw
3D studio max
Adobe After effects and Premiere ( the whole creative suite)


I'll need the system to be upgradable, support multi monitors, large storage, fast read and write and have plenty of USB connections

This is what I came up with, but I am open to any feedback

The build looks great and will run your workloads without any issues. The CPU and GPU are heavily price-inflated, though, but that's just how it is currently, unfortunately.

Thanks Alex for taking the time out to answer me. I'm not planning on using this for gaming, so I was concerned about the graphics card.
