Hey Guys,

My first post on here, Making the switch after 10 years working on Apple products.

Im Building a PC primarily for : Graphic Design, Animation, Video editing, 3D Design.

Undecided on wether to pair this with Dual Screen monitors or a single ultra wide.
Also i9 or i7?? Few people recommended i7 is more than enough but dont want to have to upgrade down the line.
Understand i9 may slow down renders etc?

Any advise on what may be Overkill or insufficient would be helpful!
First time build so not the most clued up (Yet :) )

Any recommendation on monitors would be useful too!

Also Considering upgrading to cooler to the Corsair H115i
Plus Upgrading power supply to Corsair 750w Modular 80 plus Gold

These upgrades were recommended to me, This takes my setup to Just shy of £2000,
Ideally I was hoping to spend a bit less, Worthy upgrades?

= The R9 3950X

Or the 3900x if the budget is limited.

More cores and threads than either i7 or i9.

You would absolutely want the better PSU and CPU cooler.

Instead:
