HI,
I am looking to build a new PC for my graduate studies in Visual Effects. I'll be doing particle effects, 3D Texturing Lighting and rendering. I will also be playing some games occasionally..mostly GTA V and Battlefield 4. I will be buying my parts in the US and have a draft of the part list. Kindly help me in choosing the best parts for my need.
Max budget is $5000 but if i can get better or same performance for cheaper price, i wouldnt mind that
