Hey guys,

I just put together this build:

Corsair 16 GB kit (2x8 GB) DDR4 2666 MHz Vengeance Black, CMK16GX4M2A2666C16
Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB, PCIe NVMe, M.2 80mm, MZ-V7E500BW
Western Digital WD20EZRZ 3.5" 2 TB Internal HDD, 5,400 rpm
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Jetstream, 8GB, DDR5, DVI, HDMI, DP
Intel Core i7-8700 (Hexa Core, 3.20 GHz, 12 MB, LGA1151 CL) box
NZXT H500 white case without PSU, ATX
Dell SE2717H 27'' Monitor, 1920x1080, FHD, IPS Anti-glare, 16:9, 1000:1, 8000000:1, 300cd/m2, 6ms, 178/178, HDMI, VGA, Tilt, 3Y
EVGA Series TX550 550W, 80+ Gold
Asus Prime Z370-P ii, s1151, ATX

I'm grabbing this specific monitor mainly because I already own one just like it. I need dual monitors for work, so keeping them identical makes sense. The motherboard wasn't my first choice either, but they didn't have the Asus Z-370-P in stock, so I went with this one.
Also, I know AMD Ryzen is the better move right now, but I'm just not ready to jump ship from Intel yet.

The PC will be used for rendering, ray tracing, and 2D/3D modeling.

Wanted to get your thoughts on this? Everything is being assembled at Micro Center.

Thanks!

Seems a bit overpriced to me, honestly.

If you're looking at this for professional work, you might actually get some value out of an RTX card (like a 2060).
