Respected Members - forgive me for asking this question as this has been asked many times. I am posting this question here because I havent been able to find the correct answer for my needs yet.
I have never built a computer before (have always bought branded laptops and desktops). This time I want to build a system myself I need your help for that. Below are my requirements
1. I want to create professional youtube videos, software that I will be using for editing is lightworks.
2. I will also be creating/editing music using Magix music maker.
3. I am not at all into gaming so doesnt need anything specific for gaming.
4. I would like to use intel processors instead of AMD, budget is not a constraint for me but I dont want to buy something that I dont need.
5. Another purpose of this workstation is to use it for regular home use/photo editing, remote office connection.
6. I would like to build this system with parts which are compatible for future upgrades.
Kindly suggest me what parts should I go for, I am totally inexperienced in computer builds, I wouldn't even know which case should I buy for the motherboard and cpu that you would be recommending, kindly help with your knowledge and experience.

I realized that I should have read the guidelines before asking for the advice. Since I have read it now, here is my reformatted question.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within 7 to 10 days
Budget Range: 2000$ can go higher as well up to 3000$
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video editing/Audio editing/Photo editing/Home usage
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade: New build, need to buy every single hardware needed
Do you need to buy OS: No, I have windows 8 as well have windows 7
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preference
Location: City, State/Region, Country - New Jersey, USA
Parts Preferences: Intel
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: Not sure, kindly suggest
Additional Comments: lightworks, Magix music make, adobe photoshop. I would like a quiet PC. Would like to get a motherboard which is better for future upgrades. I would also like to use 2 monitors.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Not upgrading, its a new build.
