Need Help Choosing Parts

Hi PC Building Family,

I’m new to building a PC, and any help would be much appreciated! I’ve done a bit research, but I’m still a little over my head picking out parts. 

I am unable to share links in the community since I am a new member, but I put a list of all the parts at the bottom of this post.

What my questions are:

-Are all these parts compatible?

-CPUs: the video specifications for the motherboard say: “Onboard Graphic Chipset -

Requires CPU with Integrated Graphics”. Are these CPUs compatible?

-Audio card: I will most likely be using an audio interface for recording/editing. Will I even need an audio card?

-Are all of the parts here even necessary at all with this motherboard? I’m not sure I even need some of these parts since the motherboard may cover it for m (e.g. do I need a graphics card, or an audio card? Consider me an ignoramus)

My main concern is compatibility of parts, which I’m a little nervous about before making any purchases. Are all the parts in this list compatible?

What I will mainly be using the computer for:

-Serious audio production/editing

-Video editing

-High quality live-streaming (audio is the most important as I am a musician)

What I'm looking for in the computer

I’m looking to build a high-performing, quality machine that will last me a long time, and price is not a major factor. Things that are important to me are:

-High processing power: 1. Works quickly 2. Can handle several intensive programs simultaneously without crashing 3. Can handle such intensive work over a long period of time without overheating/crashing.

-Tons of memory

I’m not a serious gamer or anything, so graphics aren’t super important to me, but I would like to be able to edit high quality videos. I understand that everything I chose is somewhat overkill for my needs, which I’m fine with, but is there anything ridiculously overkill that won’t make a difference for me? If so, I’m fine to go with a more affordable option, but I don’t want to have to worry about anything being sub-par.

Any help or insights that you all might have would be very deeply appreciated. Thank you!
