$1,300 - $1,400 PC Build Ideas?

Hey there,
I'm looking for some advice on picking out a new rig for graphic design... my budget is around $2,200. Just as a heads-up—I've already got two Dell XPS 27 monitors ready to go.

Do you guys think this specific build is actually worth the money, given the price tag and the parts they threw in?

Thanks!

Not quite, I'd say just hang tight for another week until those Ryzen 3000 processors arrive.

I'm with them. Wait for the first round of reviews and all the data to drop. You might find the Ryzen 3000 is a better fit anyway.

Can someone clear things up regarding the GPU choice? Would this be a solid match for that processor: MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 gaming 8G GDDR6 8GB/256bit, 1620MHz/1410MHz?

Is there any specific performance metric I should worry about since I'm running a dual monitor setup?
Thanks!

You didn't mention—or maybe I missed it—if those monitors are 1080p or some other resolution. That's really the only thing that matters regarding the displays. Also, think about how you plan to plug them in (HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.) just to make sure the card actually has enough ports for you.

One's a 1920x1080 (Dell XPS 27), and the other is 2560x1440 (Dell XPS 27)

I should've mentioned that I’d personally hold off for a few weeks until those Zen 2 processors actually hit the shelves, unless you're in some kind of life-or-death situation where you need a rig right this second...😉
