[SOLVED] Recommend a desktop 12700 and 3070 or 3080

[ZenMusic]

I need a new PC for music production mostly .. but play MSFS 2020 and a few other games .
I think I'd like a desktop 12700 and 3070 or 3080 that will last 3+ years and must have 1 free PCIE expansion slot for a firewire card.
any recommendations will be greatly appreciated ... (professional programmer and musician) thanks

What country are you located, what is your budget and what is your monitor resolution or is that to be included in the budget?

USA $3k target but max $4k ... 4k video but now I'm thinking 1440p may be enough

Corsair does decent prebuilts but they don't come cheap or you can build it yourself or order the components and take them to a local PC/laptop repair shop and have them build it for you for a small fee.
