I need a workstation for Blender, I used to do a lot of 3D modeling back in high school and college and want to get back into it.

I also use art programs like Aseprite and Krita, and have been animating in Aseprite. I plan to do low poly playstation 2 style graphics when I start off again in 3D modeling within Blender. I'm more concerned with rendering up to an average of 5 minutes of animation for the forseeable future. I want to reasonably futureproof and make sure it can render more than low poly, for certain.

For a budget of around $4k, what is the best I can get for a set up? Without being over the top unnecessary specs. I also need a mechanical keyboard, a mouse for workflow (good button-macro selection), a monitor with good color. Feel free to recommend anything useful (with reasoning) that adds up to 3k-4k.

Thank you!

Is this Corsair mouse better for workflow? SCIMITAR ELITE WIRELESS SE MMO Gaming Mouse

OR

Is this Logitech mouse better for workflow? Logitech MX Master 4

I need one of those mice for workflow macros

Should I get an ASUS ProArt Monitor? Or are there better choices for cheaper?
