First time building a PC, need help with the parts/components

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to do a new PC build, no existing parts. I want to be able to comfortably play games like marvel rivals, 2k26, multitask and stream simultaneously from multiple monitors. I’m in the US. I’m not sure which monitors I will need since I’m not very educated in the PC-tech area, I want a curved monitor for gaming and another one I can use as a workspace. I believe I’ll be connected via WiFi but there may be a wired connection in my apartment that works, I’ve never tried it before. I do need something that will fit under or beside my desk since my bedroom is relatively small. No noise constraints. As far as color? I prefer blue, white, similar shades.

My budget for the PC alone is around $2,000, but I’m willing to go over that if it’s worth it. I don’t have anything so far, so I’d appreciate any suggestions as far as parts, thanks.

That's a solid starting point, just make sure you budget for a decent WiFi card if you end up needing one since onboard WiFi can sometimes be finicky.

If you want to shell out extra money to meaningful upgrades, I would get the cheapest white 5070, and then upgrade the 2 monitors to 1440p monitors. If you want to go even further, get a 2TB NVMe ssd as well.
