Hi,
I'm a university student looking to get a PC for 3D animation (Maya is my usual). I'm also wanting to use this for general use and some gaming (I mostly use consoles so its no biggie)

I have a budget of £1000 for everything (including a monitor, if anyone has any recommendations for that too please let me know!)

This is the first desktop I'm ever getting so I'm pretty new to building so I would like opinions on what I have and if anything is too much or not.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! That was a lot of help and I've looked more in depth than when i made that first build. I'm probably going to make some slight tweaks but use your build as the base since I'm thankfully able to stretch my budget a bit. :) I'm trying to stretch for the RTX GPU
