Hi friends. I hope you’re all doing well!

I’m looking to build a PC for 2D and 3D animation—primarily using Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, After Effects, Maya, etc.—as well as for streaming and gaming. Aesthetics aren’t a priority for me, but I’ll likely need a good amount of memory and overall performance to support my work.

I’m completely new to building PCs, so I genuinely have no idea what's realistic and would love some guidance. I’m aiming for around $3,000. I’m flexible to spending more if it's worth it. I'm looking for something that will last for a while.

Thank you so much for your time, and energy!
