First build

[Maverickg5]

Hey guys. Im a music producer. I use fl studio mainly and i have a few pretty expansive vsts (omnisphere, nexus, philharmonik etc.) i also do graphic design and video editing thru adobe software( illustrator, photoshop, after effects, basically i use everything in adobe suite haha). I want to come up with a nice build that ranges in the 800-1200 USD price point. Any suggestions?

P.s. Eventually i will be adding more funds to this build because, quite frankly, i want this computer to be a bit overkill. I just like building and adding more pieces to make my computer a champ lol. If anybody can come up with a build for that standard as well, that would be cool too lol. Thank you guys in advance
