Advice on building a custom PC

[garrison_03]

Hey, I'm pretty new to building PCs, so I wanted to get some help from you experts out there.

The PC will mainly be used for (CPU-intensive) Music Production, but I will also use it for 4k video editing, and maybe some gaming. I don't have a particular price range, I have been saving up a lot for this, so feel free to go crazy.

 

I'm trying to build something over these minimum specs:
4.0GHz+

32gb+ RAM

1tb+ SSD

2tb+ HDD (preferably more)

Graphics card: idk, something that can handle 4k?

 

Thanks,

Garrison

I don’t think multiple items are showing up correctly, but double the ram kit and double the WD gold. For 4x8gb and two 2tb mass storage drives.

 

This is what I came up with without a budget in mind or anything like that, so there was selection of more “premium” parts such as Western Digital golds and a really nice case or the usually overkill expensive X570 board.

You could cut down price a bit with a cheaper case, lower wattage psu, WD blues instead of golds, a more basic x570 board, etc 

Thank you so much, this really helped me out a lot! I will do some research before buying a gpu for sure, and might go with a different case, but this is so helpful!
