What is your budget and currency? $2500-3500
Do you need a monitor? Yes, 2x20-25 in 144hz+ monitors (must be 2 of same monitor)
Do you need a keyboard? No
Do you need a mouse? No
Do you need an operating system? No
Playing Games new/old/all, transferring many/large files from 1gb-8tb at one time, streaming videos, browsing and all at the same time + other stuff.

Parts required/already have source for:
Please incorporate prices listed into build.
2x WD Red 8TB Internal $120x2=$240
1x almost any Corsair 1tb SSD or WD Blue 1TB SSD $150
1x almost any 32gb ram kit from corsair except RGB $165

I will also need alot of USB 3.0 ports and an internal multi card reader/disc drive

Notes: I would prefer Intel over AMD but it is not a must, Pc would rarely be turned off as i copy stuff every night/day, and my PC is in a right corner so the case panel would need to be on the left side.

I will + rep for any build, and I will send a $15 Amazon gift card for the build I use.

Please let me know if I missed anything or you need any extra information!

Thanks in advance!

Why? You're not going to be gaming on both monitors anyway, so no reason to spend the extra money on a 2nd high refresh monitor you're not going to utilise.

8TB??? At one time?

Where are you getting 8TB WD Reds for $120? No reason to favour Corsair or WD for SSD. You're also definitely not getting a 1TB SSD for $150.

yomama9999 wrote I will also need alot of USB 3.0 ports and an internal multi card reader/disc drive

No one knows what "alot of USB 3.0 ports" to you is, an actual number of required ports would help. Also, why does the card reader and optical drive have to be internal? I'd much rather have an external card reader, and hot glue it under my desk for easy access. If the optical drive is necessary and being used often, sure go for an internal optical drive but if it's just being used occasionally, you can just grab an external one.

Total: $3514.59

I included the two high refresh rate monitors, but again, you're not going to be able to utilise the 165Hz refresh rate of both at the same time anyway, so I'd suggest just saving some money and getting one of these 60Hz 1440p monitors as a secondary monitor;

Thanks for the build 13! I am going to go with what you said on only 1 high hz monitor and on the external dvd/multi card reader.
I changed a few things and wanted to make sure everything would still be good?

Where are you getting all these ridiculously low prices? 8TB WD Golds are more than twice that price each. Where are you seeing a 1TB WD SSD for $120, and 32GB RAM for $160? Also, the $300 monitor, where are you seeing that for $200?
