So I've saved up some money to build a PC but have no clue what to buy and get. My budget is roughly a little over $3000. Just need like a computer wizard to build the best gaming PC for gaming, streaming, and video editing. I want the best of the best I can get.
Looking for ultimate gaming PC for my budget

All that budget, and you choose to go with a $10 headset? The sound quality would be horrible. I recommend at the minimum something like Sennheiser HD 598 on the cheap side.

I have Astro A 50s as a headset, ultimate black widow for key board, razor bags for mouse, and a Ben q monitor. I primarily just need a build that's overkill I guess. With overclocking and everything because I don't know how that stuff works but I want the best performance from all my components.
