Hi,

Lifetime Mac user making the transition to PC.

I'm a professional motion designer, any thoughts on the following specs? Anything that stands out? It'll be my first ever build so I'm fairly clueless!

Any suggestions / advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks

Can you provide the configuration link please?
What's it going to be used for, any particular software used if on the motion design
What Monitor do you have resolution & refresh rate or make and model
and what's the budget?

it needs a bit of tweaking

Ok, I've had a look and made a few changes, I've upgraded the motherboard, tweaked the storage by giving you a 2TB HDD for files that don't need fast storage, reduced the M.2 to 512GB for your OS And then an additional M.2 for files that need fast storage but you wouldn't want to have to download again if you ever needed to do a clean install.
I've also upped the PSU to give you headroom for upgrades in the future

Yep, I love my iCue 220T but it is pretty small. You'll want the best possible cooler in when you've got a monster like the 5900X going thermonuclear in there 💥

Couple of minor changes to the above: Case as the H500 isn't showing on the configurator; faster primary drive as I am pretty sure your applications could benefit from it; slightly newer cooler:
