Hey everyone! I'm diving into building my very first PC, and I could really use some help. My current setup is pretty underwhelming. Just to give you the details:
- I'm looking to do a **new build** instead of upgrading an old one.
- The only part I plan to reuse is my monitor [this one](https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824281379?Item=N82E16824281379&_gl=1*1xnjz8*_gcl_au*Nzc0MjYwNTk2LjE3NzMyNjI2NTA.*_ga*MTE3OTE3MTI3My4xNzczMjYyNjUw*_ga_TR46GG8HLR*czE3NzQ2NjgwMzYkbzUkZzEkdDE3NzQ2Njg3MTUkajYwJGwwJGgxMjk3NjUxMjE5), but I haven't set it up yet because I don't want to spoil it with my current rig.
- The PC will be used mainly for gaming, specifically heavily modded Minecraft, Where Winds Meet, various Final Fantasy games, the Persona series, and Marvel Rivals.
- I'm in the **USA** and unfortunately, I'm not near a Micro Center.
- My budget is **under $2200**, keeping taxes in mind.
- I will need a **WiFi** connection.
- I don't have any size or noise constraints to worry about.
- I prefer a **white color** scheme for the build.
- No other specific requirements from my side!

I think something along these lines would be great for you: [Another Build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8XdbXf). It has a strong CPU and GPU combo, plenty of RAM, and a good value SSD.
For your first build, I'd suggest aiming for a graphics card in the **5060** range and getting at least **32GB of RAM**. It’s best to go with a single stick so you have room for more down the line. Also, consider an **AMD Ryzen 9** from the Zen 4 or 5 series, and make sure you get an **NVMe Gen 4** or better for your SSD. Your monitor will pair nicely with a build like this!
Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely keep these specs in mind.
Check out this build I put together: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mTNzYX). It's a solid setup and the white parts didn't cost a premium!
Really appreciate the help! This looks great, thanks a lot!
Thank you! I’m really grateful for your suggestions!
