Hello there,
as the title states I am trying to build a pc for highly modded simulation games (specifically cities skylines, civilization 6) and for creative softwares like Blender (3d modelling, rendering, animation), GIMP (photo editing). I have some basic knowledge on pc builds, I never used a desktop as my main PC before and thermals and overall simulation performance were always an issue in my previous laptop PCs. A price under £2200 is desirable however I can strectch my budged a bit as seen here. As I am not as experienced as some of you in this forum, I would like to here your opinions and suggestions. Is it an overall balanced and logical build?, I am also looking for a monitor (max £250) with good color gamut and decent refresh rate that would fit to my build.
Thanks.
