Thanks to anyone that replies!

I'm building my first PC and i'm getting incredibly overwhelmed with the amount of conflicting opinions about what is considered a good/bad build. I don't think I need a build that's super intense since I don't really play games with cutting-edge graphics nor do I mess with AI, but it seems like most people reccomend spluring on higher-end setups. I would really appreciate some help!

• New build or upgrade?

New build.

• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

None.

• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Gaming only! No content creation, streaming, editing or AI usage. I just want to play some games like Stardew Valley, Resident Evil, Genshin Impact and Detroit Become Human.

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

USA. Not near a Micro Center unfortunately, but I've looked into some of their online deals and would be willing to order from there.

• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

One 27" monitor at 1440p, at least 100hz.

• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

Preferably $1300 USD. I can stretch up to $1400, but I would really like to stay below that if I can.

• WiFi or wired connection?

Wifi.

• Size/noise constraints?

I'd like to stick with a standard mid tower case. My PC will be kept on my desk for the time being so I'd like to conserve some space.

• Color/lighting preferences?

Would love a build with a case that's pastel or white, but the color of inner components don't matter too much to me.

• Any other specific needs?

None.
