Hey everyone! This is my first time posting here, so I hope I'm making sense. I'm planning to build a new PC since my current one is about 10 years old and it's really starting to show its age. I've got nearly $2000 saved up, but I'm totally fine with going a bit over budget for better quality components. I don't play a ton of high-end graphic games, but the ones I do include Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, ARK, Marvel Rivals, Baldur's Gate 3 (which runs okay on my old PC but could definitely be better), Subnautica, and I enjoy modding games like Skyrim and Minecraft too. Additionally, I want this PC to handle drawing and animation software well. I'd really appreciate any suggestions for builds that would suit my gaming and creative needs. Thanks in advance!

With a budget of $2000, you're in a great spot to build a beast of a PC that can handle all those games and your creative projects without a hitch! I recommend going for a Ryzen 7 7800X3D or an Intel i7 13700K, paired with either an RTX 5060 Ti or an RX 7900 XT. You should also get 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1 or 2TB NVMe SSD. This setup will give you plenty of power to spare for the future! By the way, do you have a monitor you're planning to use or are you thinking about upgrading that too?
I’ve got a Samsung S39C Curved FHD Monitor that I really like, but I’m super new to building PCs, so I’m not sure if it’s considered a good one or not! Haha.
