Build Help/Ready:

I've been using mac for the past 8 years, but finally am sick of all the expensive computers and under performing "power" per dollar spent.

I will be using this build for gaming, but also photo and video (Adobe Lightroom/Premier) editing for work.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

I'd like to be able to run most games on maximum settings, no higher than a 2K monitor, and likely not over 60fps.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

I'd like to keep it all under $1600-$1800.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

United States, California.

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I mainly would appreciate any notes regarding compatibility of parts/case, as well as any suggestions of parts, cables, etc that I may be forgetting. Thank you all very much in advance!
