Computer for AE and Blender

Hi guys!
I read all your recommendations and tried to make by myself a configuration in budget to 2500 Euro. As a basis I took a configuration from your Custom PC Builder but some of listed things are not available now and I had to choose anything different. So now I am a bit worried about it. And the biggest worry is a mainboard. Could you have a look at my list and tell, if everything is ok? Or could you recommend me a few mainboards to this configuration for the best performance in budget to 2500 Euro? I need a mainboard, with which I could upgrade my RAM in future (now I want to buy 2x16 and later also 2x16).

The second question is a GPU. I would like to have a GPU from Asus but everything, what I could find is this GPU. I don't know, what means with "Dual". Is it good or bad?
And the third question is for Alex Glawion. I read you based in Frankfurt am Main? I also live recently near FFM and I do need some tips. What is the best place to buy everything for a computer build? I know Amazon and I also found mifcom.de and alternate.de. Maybe you had an experience with this shops and could to say anything or recommend an another shop? And also maybe you know a service in FFM or near, who could to build a computer because I have never done it and I don't trust in myself with such things.
So here is my list. I would be happy to get comments from you, guys!

If you're not planning to use multiple GPUs for rendering, all good That motherboard will do just fine.

The second question is a GPU. I would like to have a GPU from Asus but everything, what I could find is this GPU. I don't know, what means with "Dual". Is it good or bad?

Dual basically means it's a 2-fan cooling model. For a 3070, that shouldn't pose a problem as long as your case has decent airflow (good intake and exhaust configuration).

@Alex Glawion can probably help you with your third question

Dear Jerry, thank you very much for your answer!

Jep, I'm not planning to use multiple GPU for rendering yet. If I understand right, the multiple rendering means, that I use a few GPUs for that? Or? But I forgot to write, I'm planning to use two monitors. What I need for that?

This 2-fan cooling model means, that it has already 2 fans? Or I have to build a computer with 2 GPU fans? This SilentiumPC Armis AR7 Full Tower PC Case has a lot of space for additional coolers. What is your recommendation, how many coolers it needs?

Thank you a lot!

What I need for that?

Yep, just a single graphics card will do.

This 2-fan cooling model means, that it has already 2 fans?

Correct it uses 2 fans to cool itself.

This SilentiumPC Armis AR7 Full Tower PC Case has a lot of space for additional coolers. What is your recommendation, how many coolers it needs?

I'd say, one rear exhaust fan, 2 front intake fans, and 1/2 exhaust fans at the top. This in addition to the CPU cooler in your build should be more than enough to keep everything inside cool. I think 3 fans (front and rear are already included with the case), so you probably just need 1 extra fan for the top.
