https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XqJN6B Getting white parts doesn't add a significant amount of cost. I put a few options for case and cooler depending if you want lights or not. --- https://www.newegg.com/tools/combo-builder/6675 https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gv-n507teagleoc-ice-16gd-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-16gb-graphics-card-triple-fans/p/N82E16814932769?Item=N82E16814932769 $150 coupon off the gpu is also from newegg to get it down to $910. Ssds are very expensive currently but they also seem to be continuing to get worse. I'd probably just get however much you know you'll need and then put off any storage upgrades until you need them or prices get back to normal. They probably won't be back to normal until a while after the ai bubble pops though. Currently they are ~double what they should be. --- For a monitor do you know that you want curved? They can be nice for games and immersion but there are a lot of people who don't like them for multi-purpose. Personally I had a hard time reading on one, it gave me a motion sick kind of feeling. That gigabyte one is a pretty good budget option if you do want curved. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QHV2FT/aoc-cq27g4x-270-2560-x-1440-180-hz-curved-monitor-cq27g4x Or this one which has a similar quality screen and a height adjustable stand. Personally I'd be looking at the m27q3 for a 1440p model if you like fast paced games like rivals rather than getting a VA panel. https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-m27q3-sa1-27-qhd-300-hz-ips-black/p/N82E16824012108 But I'd probably get one like this. https://www.newegg.com/p/3D4-007C-00055 4k 160hz for single player stuff and work, with the option to switch to 1080p 320hz for competitive games. Couldn't help you with speakers. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUu7N8tq4RE This is a good assembly guide for a first timer, part 4 covers settings up windows.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h4BvjG Do you plan to have the second monitor be matching or are you looking for a cheaper side monitor for discord or other things instead of alt tabbing? https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx Microcenter cpu bundle deal. You can switch the motherboard to a somewhat nicer black gigabyte x870 for $630 or upgrade cpu to 9850x3d and a nicer board for $700. Microcenter should also be willing to price match stuff they have in stock, gpu maybe. And they'll have an aisle of cases to look at. https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-m27q3-sa1-27-qhd-300-hz-ips-black/p/N82E16824012108 Monitor price, also comes with a free forza 6 key.

I put some case options I'd consider good picks for black and lights. --- If you've never built a pc before this is a good assembly guide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUu7N8tq4RE --- You should see if you're near a microcenter, they have some realyl good bundle deals for cpu, gpu and ram. https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007354/amd-ryzen-7-9850x3d,-asus-b850e-tuf-gaming-wifi-am5,-corsair-vengeance-rgb-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle Like this. If you do get that then it doesn't come with a cooler included anymore, I'd probably get a thermalright 360mm off of amazon like the aqua elite v6, should be a bunch of options around $50-60. --- https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-m27q3-sa1-27-qhd-300-hz-ips-black/p/N82E16824012108 This would be the monitor I'd be getting with it currently on sale for $200 with a forza 6 code included for free.
