Hello,

I am about to do my first build and I would like some advice from those in the know.

New Computer Build: Full-size/atx case probably Hyte Y60,
Price range of $1500 to $2500 give or take a couple of hundred dollars (do not need another monitor, speakers or keyboard, etc..

Capable of:
Gaming,
VR Ready,
Graphic Design,
Video & Photo Editing,
Sound Recording & Editing (DAW),
Support for up to 3 Monitors,
MEMORY?
Exceptional Cooling (liquid),
LED/RGB Lighting,
Which ASUS or Gigabyte Motherboard (?) I'm sure that I have inadvertantly left some things out, but I'm ready to learn.
Windows 11 Pro,
Oh, I usually try to avoid the very top of the performance range just because the costs are usually drastically higher.
Stay safe & take care. Thanks!
