Disclaimer: I already have 2 configurations ready, I am not asking for a configuration creation service but rather advice on the existing ones. Just to be clear, I don't like asking someone to do all the work, I have worked on my side (with my humble and modest skills of course).
Also, I’m french so please forgive me for my not so good english, and for the fact that the prices I talk about are in Euros.
Hello friends,
I hope everyone is doing well in these difficult times.
A few days ago I tried to create a configuration, because I need to switch from my old Acer Aspire Nitro VN7 laptop (which is starting to seriously tire out, formats, cleanings, and soft and hard maintenance are no longer having much effect) to a desktop that I have been dreaming of for years. I have always managed with laptops due to budget constraints, but I use my PC for music production (roughly speaking). And music software, primarily the plugins associated with it, are very heavy and demand a lot of resources. I also use my PC for basic gaming, but these days triple A games demand a minimum of powerful PCs. And more than anything, I need to stop stressing about being limited by my PC. No matter my passion of the moment. I also enjoy video and editing, and if one day I feel like delving into any of my digital passions, I don't want to have to tell myself that my PC won't support it.
Sorry for the details, but it's to paint a picture. I wanted a powerful and versatile PC. Like many people, I imagine.
So I created two configurations, I struggled a bit to create an AMD and an Intel configuration because I don't know which one to choose. The configurations are roughly equivalent in performance normally. But both exceed 2000 euros.
My question is, in your opinion, can some elements of the configurations be replaced/reduced while still maintaining roughly the same performance? I ask because I know I don't have the knowledge to know if some things are relatively useless. And I also know that the price of a part varies greatly depending on its characteristics (which can, as previously stated, not necessarily be indispensable)
Like any human, I naturally prefer to pay as little as possible when we can get almost the same for a greatly different price sometimes. And especially to go below 2000 euros at least. If the configurations are reasonable and not too changeable, I'll stick to them despite the price, oh well.

I have only included what is essential to me. Please note that the Wifi Card is an error I made, don't count it. I realised that the Motherboard I took already had Wifi. The HDD is not essential as I have a total of 3TB on the SSD and I have many External Hard Drives. I am keeping the idea of adding an HDD in the future as a bonus, but nothing is pressing. The GPU is also temporary because the crisis is tough for everyone. Like all of you, I am waiting for prices to drop again to a minimum. And I think the GPUs included in the configurations are sufficient or very satisfying for a start.
For now, the GPUs I am targeting for the future are around 1600 euros, which is slightly excessive. For the AMD configuration, I was targeting something like the RX 6900 XT and for the Intel configuration an RTX 3080Ti 3X 12Go.
Similarly, if any of you find these GPUs useless compared to some cheaper ones, I am open to suggestions. My goal is to accumulate enough knowledge and advice so that I no longer need to bother this forum haha. We can find what we want on Google but I never learn as well as when exchanging with real people.
I thank in advance all individuals who would take the time to respond to me, I am always extremely grateful for the exchanges I have on this site. Take care of yourself, I wish you an excellent day!
