The first decision should be the CPU, then an appropriate MB. 9th gen (i9-9900K) was a good chip. 10th & 11th gen were refinements. 12th gen is new chip technology & is awesome. If budget permits, get the latest/greatest:

19-12900K
Gigabyte Z690 MB
32 or 64GB DDR5 or DDR4
Samsung or Western Digital PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 3.0 M.2 NVMe SSD
Seasonic PRIME FANLESS TX
Nvidea GPU

(AMD Ryzen & Apple M1 are decent CPU's also, but I have no personal experience using them for Pro Tools rigs.)
