I have Vegas Pro 17. I am still a beginner. Am I allowed to ask for advice on buying a new computer? I am considering an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card and an intel Ultra 9 (285 K) assembled and supported by either Puget or Velocity or Alexander PCs. I will upgrade my Vegas Pro if necessary. RAM 64 Gig. 1,300 Watt power, liquid cooling. 4-5 TB storage.

Purpose A: Spoken word and singing syllables and plucking a classical guitar/lute discussing music theory for youtube. Multi-cam editing of 4K footage.

Purpose B Recording classical guitar and lute repertoire, eliminating errors and klunkers.

Using two Sony ZV E10 II cameras (recording 4K 10-bit 4:2:2) and stereo Shure SM 81 mics, and a Rode NT1, and maybe iphone 16 video. The production would be relatively free of technical bells and whistles, with occasional photos of a whiteboard and music scores, and occasional words on the screen. Nothing elaborate.

Approximate cost $5,900 -$6,800. I could upgrade to a RTX 5080 for an additional $500, and probably will. The RTX 5090 might cost an additional $1,000 or more.

Any advice would be appreciated, as well as questions for clarification. Thanks.
