Question

Best place to build a PC?

I'm a long time Mac user looking to switch over to a PC for my After Effects work and was wondering what websites you'd suggest using to build one?

Here's what I'm thinking right now:

Processor: Intel Core i7 6900K 3.2GHz (3.5-4GHz) 8 Core

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB

Motherboard: I don't know... something that supports Thunderbolt.

Thanks!

    I spent a lot of time checking out the new/completed builds at pcpartpicker.com when I was building mine.  You can get a lot of good inspiration and tips on what does/doesn't work.  Ordered all from NewEgg (was going to do Amazon but put it all in the cart and had $140 in tax!  None of that nonsense at newegg).

    puget systems and adk are often recommended. safe harbor sometimes gets recommended, but i would avoid their hardware.

    I've purchased two systems from here:

    Their customer service is exceptional.  Be sure to call them and talk to them rather than just configuring something online.
