Huskybot's next gaming rig, Crowdsourcing information, :boost_ok:​ 

Thinking of doing a dual motherboard setup for doing streaming.

Other identified constraints:
-AMD processor
-nVidia graphics card
-VR capable
-Side Window in case
-AIO liquid cooler
-More RGB than is reasonable or tasteful. Would like to get RGB motherboard edge/backlight, but certainly accents on MB.

-Budget is approximately $3,000USD.

I''m having a hard time sifting through just what is actually good/high end, and I'm worried I've been priced out of what used to be my bread and butter: building my own rig.

If I have to get a pre-built, I will. but given my choice, i'd much rather build my own. Can someone help me find a good MB/CPU combo?

@kelseyhusky Honestly, MB & CPU are the easy compared to trying to find a GPU that doesn't eat most of your budget 😐

Pre-built might be good just to get a reasonably priced GPU, but a lot of those suck…

I spend way too much time watching Hardware Youtube (and I guess it's my special interest??????), so I might be able to help out?
