Hey everyone! I'm new to the gaming world and I'm looking to build my first PC without breaking the bank—ideally under $2000. I want a nice aesthetic, mainly white and pink, but I'm open to adding other colors if necessary. The games I'm excited to play include Overwatch, Minecraft (with mods), Sims 4, The Long Dark, and other games from Steam. I'm familiar with some parts, but I'm not sure which components work well together. What should I consider for my build?

You should check out ETAPrime on YouTube! He has loads of budget-friendly builds that show which games run well with the parts listed. Super helpful!
Here’s a solid build you might like! This setup totals around $1949, which keeps you under your budget and is great for the games you want to play:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-13700KF 3.4 GHz 16-Core
- Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360
- Motherboard: ASRock Z790 Lightning WiFi
- RAM: TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB 32 GB
- Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB NVME SSD
- GPU: MSI VENTUS 3X OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
- Case: Corsair 3500X ARGB
- PSU: Corsair RM850 850W
Let me know if you'd prefer an AMD setup; I've got suggestions for that too!
For a white theme, consider swapping the motherboard for the NZXT N7 Z790; it’s stunning in a white setup!
Definitely check out PCPartPicker to help you visualize your build! Once you choose your main components, you can share the link for more feedback. Just remember to select your region on the site if you're outside the US!
Thanks for the build! I might look into some AMD options too!
