Updated build is posted in a new comment below.
1. Budget & Location
My budget is a minimum of 2 grand up to about 3 not a nickle more, I live in West Coast Canada.
2. Aim
I'm going to be using my system for 20+ chrome tabs while simultaneously with any 1 number of tasks such as, streaming on occasion, playing Black Desert Online specifically, I would like to run it at 90+ fps at 1440p high/very high detail, running 2 or more mobile phone emulators, Graphical Design on occasion, editing videos on very rare occasion.
3. Monitors
I currently have 1 monitor, I'm in the process of acquiring 2 more and am thinking of getting a 3rd.
4. Peripherals
Optionally if there is extra budget, I'm looking to acquire a mixer, webcam, mic, audio dac, and stream deck. Not necessary just nice to haves. These wont be allocated to the budget as they can be acquired after the fact.
5. Why are you upgrading?
I'm upgrading because I want to try building my own PC, I also don't particularly enjoy buying prebuilt pcs with bottle necked hardware, that said I know prebuilt pcs are getting more pinpoint focused, so the main reason is again the experience of building my own pc.
6. Additional notes
I'm looking to get the 3950x when it releases on the 25th, which will be obvious overkill, so any suggestions for an alternative CPU are welcome, assuming I wont be waiting months to obtain it.
Despite all the video reviews I may watch the GPU and MOBO are probably the next ones that I've no clue how to select.

The only ones I wont compromise on are the PSU, because seeing the voltage is a QoL I personally desire.
Thanks in advance for any constructive criticism.
Please be merciful.
