1 I'm looking to build a pc that can do various tasks such as stream, use music editing software (a DAW, Ableton Live and Reason), as well as video editing. Kinda an all-in-one package for my streaming channel. I make music and play retro games, usually on emulator, or directly from a capture card with retro consoles. I may play some higher performance required games in the future like remakes that use much higher frame rates, but that's down the road a bit.

I put together a list here but I think that it's a bit overkill. I'm not entirely sure what is required for each task (and no, I will likely not be doing them at the same time. The most I'll be doing simultaneously is use a DAW OR emulator and streaming it live. The DAW will have a streamlined DJ set instead of a full production set to reduce CPU and the emulator I doubt will require any CPU heavy lifting as well). The only thing I'm worried about is the video editing.

I'm not really into newer games so I don't think that I need anything super advanced but I want this build to last me a long time. My budget is around $1200-1300. This parts list is over budget and I know there are things I can trim but I don't know what's necessary and what isn't. This is my first build, I'm coming from mac. Any help is appreciated.
