[SOLVED] New workstation, showcase, gaming PC

[Fate05]

So I like to play games and do lots of content creation. I play games chill games like minecraft (with LOTS of mods) and ark survival as well as competitive games like CS:GO and Overwatch. I have a budget of about $10k NZD and that's for mouse, headset, keyboard, monitors etc.
I prefer things like TRX40, X299 or X399 as they have insane power for content creation (I do video editing, renders, photoshop, programming)

LIST NEEDS

• PC speakers with dedicated sub
• RGB Lighting
• Mouse
• Headset
• Keyboard

Prefer Logitech (also prefer wireless mouse and headsets)
- Monitors (240hz is ideal for comp games and 1440p is good for content and chill games)
PC Must Have
Atleast 64gb ram. 64gb is ideal (I've trialed 32gb and 64gb and I find that 64gb is a better amount for me)
Enough graphics power for 240fps @1080p or @1440p
Enough GPU power for Ray tracing on minecraft
Enough CPU power for content and to play games at 240fps
I prefer TRX40, X299 and X399 as well (I know the 3950x is probably fine but personal preference 😁)
Im a bit of a Logitech and asus fanboy 😅

Thanks in advance!

It may all seem a bit over the top but I have the money and my preferences so I would love it if list makers consider everything! Much appreciated 😊🙏😊

I know it's over the budget, but that's just how much your needs are pushing it.

Just forget about X299 and X399, you can't get the best of both worlds on those platforms. The game performance is lacking.
