It should speed up rendering in after effects (admittedly, I'm still learning to use the software to its full extent).

Thank you. I don't care about the RBG at all lol. So I honestly had no idea their software is trash. Silence is important, but there is a wall between the PC and my Desk with the peripherals wired through the wall, so it isn't a big deal. Thanks for the list though, I think I may use some of your suggestions.

Ok will do. Give me a few

Also, I use abelton, pro tools, and ardour (but I won't be using ardour on this build. I'm going to use my other PC as a dedicated linux box).

I am putting together a new PC. I am pretty new to all of this. I built a PC 6 or 7 years ago, so I'm not entirely illiterate, but I would like everyone's opinions on the components I'm purchasing this week. My budget is $5000. (I have more to spend on the build, but I'm saving it to SLI two of the RTX 3080 TI's when they come out. I'll switch out the 2080 TI when that time comes). I live in the US. I will be using the PC for music production, gaming, premier pro, after effects, web browsing. Assuming the below components are suitable, I could use the rest of my budget to get a sound card that would be more useful to me for music production.
