Hi guys I am a developper (mostly using java, mongo, docker, intellij, etc). Even tho I am in computer stuff, I am not really savvy with the whole building a pc stuff. I want to build a pc that will allow me to dual boot (windows for gaming and linux for work related stuff) Could any1 give me a hand with this ? I have between 1500 and 2500 (max 3000 if the extra $ is worth it) and I would like to build the computer between now and 3 months from now (in case you guys tell me it is worth it waiting a bit for a specific part).

thanks :)

/Edit: the money is just for the computer itself, not for the mouse, keyboard or monitor

Like I said I am ready to purchase now, but if you tell me it is worth it waiting 3-4 months for a specific part, I could wait.

AMD is dropping new cpu's that may be worth wild in 2 months or so.
We can assemble a pc now but imo its best to wait.

this is what your looking at now, can bump up to a 2080 possibly.
