I'm planning to build a new PC for a few different tasks, mainly focused on music production, including using DAWs and a lot of plugins, alongside video editing in DaVinci Resolve for my content creation. I'll be capturing 1440p video from my DAW and doing a 'talking head' overlay during edits. Additionally, I'm interested in 1440p gaming and streaming my sessions for both music production and gaming. I'm considering using an Intel 265K CPU with an RTX 5070 GPU. Will this setup be powerful enough for all these tasks? I also need advice on RAM; I was initially thinking about 64GB, but I'm now contemplating 32GB or even 48GB. What's the best option for my use case? Plus, what RAM speed and latency (MHz / CL) should I be aiming for to optimize performance and stability in music production and video editing?

Your setup will definitely handle your tasks without a hitch! The combination of Intel 265K and RTX 5070 is quite capable for music production and video editing. Just keep an eye on your performance expectations. For RAM, it's best to figure out how much you're using currently and how that translates to your new build. What RAM do you have in your current setup?
Currently I’m on an Asus Zenbook with 16GB RAM, but that’s not geared towards gaming or heavy streaming. If I edit videos, they’re usually simple at 1080p max, so I don't really think my current usage is relevant.
