New PC after 9 years. Help needed.

[ozzy6985]

(Disclaimer! English is NOT my native language, please forgive any mistakes) Hello people. Finally the time has come, to build a new PC after 9 years since the last one, so I need some help to get back in to the subject of builds. A LOT has changed since 2009, and I'm kinda lost. I'll try to follow the pinned guide for posting a new thread. Here we go!
1. Budget & Location:

The thing about the budget is, I always try to build a future proof machine. I live in Poland (PLN), so the prices are usually higher than for e.g. US or Canada or even other EU countries. But lets say I want to spend ~3000$ on the tower.

2. Aim:

Music mixing/production (Ableton, Studio One, Pro Tools, virtual instruments, VST's, audio samples), photo/video editing (Adobe stuff), games (Everything, from triple A titles, to some less demanding ones),streaming. I hate bottlenecks, this machine has to be an all round "monster". Speed and lots of storage space. Dust "proof" PC case, if such thing exists. Some RGB would be nice. I'm not so sure about water cooling, I much more prefer and trust fan only approach. Lots of USB and other ports.

3. Monitors:

I have a dual monitor setup. I'm used to working and playing on 1080p screens (games on High/Ultra settings. 3 monitors would actually help me a lot with my workflow. 

4. Peripherals:

Yes, an upgrade from my old and trusty Logitech setup would be nice. A quiet, comfortable and reassuring keyboard is a must, same thing with a mouse. Never tried the gaming stuff, I'm a dirty casual when it comes to mouse and keyboard, but I want to try something new. No need for an OS.

5. -----

And there it is! Hope you guys can help me with finding the right tools for the job. There is just too much to choose from...

Thanks!

It has a black and white theme but also comes with RGB that is controlled via Aura Sync. The white will nicely reflect the RGB and such. It does come under budget, so if you want to throw in a 1440p 144hz monitor, you can afford it (assuming prices in your country aren't too fart off).
