[SOLVED] Game Dev/Machine Learning Build

[CattDaemon]

need a build with the following minimum specs and uses in order of importance to me:

Usages:

1. Game development using the Unity Engine. This means have the Unity editor open along with visual studio and likely a third demanding process like having Maya or Blender open
2. Academic/Research work in ML/DL, this means running algorithms and neural networks and possibly dealing with large amounts of data
3. booting up the occasional game

Min Specs Desired (Open to change):

1. 32 GB ram
2. 500 GB SSD
3. can comfortably run at least 3 monitors
4. whatever you guys think for the motherboard, GPU, etc.

trying to spend somewhere between 1500 and 2500
appreciate any and all help

Yeah most X570 boards can support up to 64GB of RAM but keep in mind that a 64GB set isn't cheap, that would put you well over your max budget.
