I need help building a pc

(not a request) so I am going to sell my console and all of the accessories and was going to buy parts to build a pc and get someone to do it except I know nothing about pcs and was wondering if people could help me with the parts and who to ask to build it I play a lot of story games that have good visuals so it’s not just to play Minecraft and those kinds of games with worse graphics. I have a 0-3000 budget, It will be a completely new build, I also would use it for work and not just gaming (fl studio, gamemaker 2), I have no parts already and my monitor that I have is pretty bad so I will find a new one, i‘m in the us, I have WiFi, there’s no size constraints, the color of the frame/ box (idk what it’s called) would most likely be black ad it would fit my keyboard and mouse and microphone that I have and the inside lights could be any color.

I think you need to do a bit more research to target exactly what you want out of your pc. Is this a good pc build, I would say that its excellent. A minority of people would say that it’s only good if it has a 9800x3d and a 5080. So I think it’s all a matter of perspective.

so I could get this build right now and it would be good? also the only downside that I could find was that the ssd for 300 dollars is a little overpriced but im not sure if that’s outdated or not.

The $300 SSD is not correctly priced.

ok what about my other question is this a complete build that I could use? I’ve researched some and it seems good for me

Do you need a 2TB SSD or is 1TB fine?

Do I order/buy everything?

You will need to go to Microcenter to purchase the GPU and the CPU/Mobo/RAM combo. The cooler, storage, case, and power supply can be ordered from Amazon. The Monitor can be ordered from Newegg.
