SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT!
This is my very first PC build. Ever since I came out of the womb I had been interested in computers. I had been an Apple fan up until about a year ago, but since then I've realized that it makes more sense to use a windows/linux and android, and I have since then switched. I'm only 17 but I determine on taking my life into the computer and business field. I am very skilled with computers but not the best (I dont know any programming languages). With this build I am aiming at heightening my computer skills, learning a few languages, playing games at the highest possible detail, and doing video/audio/photo editing.
I need help choosing the best processor and motherboard for the computer I'm building. As far as I've been educated, Intel is the better choice correct? I am looking to spend up to $400-500 on the processor and $150 on the motherboard. What would be a good, no AMAZING combination for what I'm looking for. I'm going to buy the essentials at first (motherboard, processor, GPU, RAM, case, PSU, etc.) and build on it for years to come. I want a motherboard and processor that won't be out of date in 5 years. Would socket LGA 2011 be good for someone like me? I plan on buying multiple graphics cards and monitors.
Anyone that would be able to help me will be GREATLY appreciated!
EDIT: My budget is roughly $1400-2000 for my whole build. I am starting from scratch.
