Keep in mind the GPU will be around half your budget. A $500 GPU would be similar to a 1660 or something. This build is for $2550 AUD and includes a 3060 Ti, 12.7Gb RAM, and 32 gigabytes of storage.

The two monitors should be substantial in size. A gaming monitor and a YouTube monitor can be the same size, but they need to fit well together.

Right now I have a 27" Samsung screen (I can use or switch to another one).
The dimensions would fit well if they match exactly, like 27" and 27".
Gaming would be light and not daily use (this PC is mainly for work, mostly YouTube).
Having a dual monitor is actually good for me—I can edit videos while doing other tasks (maybe light gaming, but I’m fine with normal graphics as long as it’s not too low).
Yeah, I updated the budget because adding a dual monitor costs another 500$.
*Editing 1080p monitor would work too*
Thank You

Your "need list" excludes:
RAM
CPU
CPU cooler
Power Supply
Case fans
Needed or not?
Are you part of either the AMD or Intel communities?
Do you prefer SSDs that are NVMe, SATA, M.2, or 2.5 inch?

Thank you for your reply. I made the changes and yes, I need them for a RIG (RAM, CPU, CPU cooler, GPU, PSU, etc). Regarding SSDs, I don't really care; I'm more focused on value. I hope this RIG can be upgraded in the future.

I don't really know how much CPU power you might need for YouTube activities. I think it's probably not a lot. "Light gaming" is another term people use—someone else should clarify what that involves. Right now, graphics cards are quite costly, but you might not require one if your needs are simple.

It seems like a "SSD 1 TB / 2 TB" setup means two drives, each of the specified sizes. Or maybe not?

You probably won't exceed 16 GB of DDR4 RAM. If you reach the higher end of your budget, you might have to make some adjustments—perhaps with monitors or board features you don’t need. Consider where you can reduce spending.

M.2 NVMe drives could be an optional upgrade that you might skip easily. A motherboard with more than one M.2 slot tends to be expensive.

I’d probably focus on getting the most CPU power possible, saving elsewhere if needed. That would give you a good edge for almost any task.
