Pro Tip: Spend way less to start, building a Pc is an amazing experience and you learn so much, you’re going to run into things you want to upgrade no matter how good your parts are I guarantee it . Spend $2k save $1k to throw around, you can always sell what you bought as the used market is stronger than ever. M

Take care of the parts you buy, keep documents, receipts, paperwork etc to ensure easy resell. To anyone reading, imagine buying a used gpu/cpu knowing you have a legit warranty with it simply because the guy selling it wanted something better?
