Music/Video Production + Gaming (Mostly CSGO, but getting into VR flight sim)
My gaming concerns mostly amount to a lightly modded skyrim playthrough, or higher frames in CSGO. Mostly building this to replace my 5 year old build.
I use Cubase, and the word on the street is it prefers intel, which is why i'm not going Ryzen here.
USA - I have a microcenter that's within driveable distance, but a lot of these parts don't seem to be available there.
MOBO requirements include as many USB ports as possible (Oculus Rift CV1, Dongles for Audio Software, Audio Interfaces etc). ALSO 2+ m.2 slots preferable.
I already own the 2080 Super. I'm out of SATA headers on my current build, so having the additional NVME slot will be huge for bigger and better sample libraries for music making.
Thank you in advance!
Hope I have provided all information!

Looks great. Personally I would swap the cooler for a Scythe Ninja 5 and swap the case for a Lian Li Lancool 215. I have the Ninja 5 and that thing is super effective while being whisper quiet. As for the case, the NZXT is beautiful but has kind of lousy airflow/thermals. Lancool 215 comes with all the ventilation you’ll ever need.
Thank you so much
