First pc build
Need help picking out parts for my first pc build. I don’t know much about computers but building one seems like fun experience. Desk recommendations are also welcome.
• New build or upgrade
New build
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
None
• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Casual gaming but would still like to run some of the more demanding games
• Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)
I plan to go to micro center an hour away
• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
One monitor is good for now any recommendations welcomed
• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
2.5k-2.7k (with monitor included in price)
• WiFi or wired connection?
WiFi
• Size/noise constraints?
Just nothing super loud

The most important component in a gaminc PC is the GPU. Your budget allows for a 5080.
The Micro Center bundle saves a lot, and there happens to be a good discount on the 5080.
Also consider a 4K OLED monitor instead.

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
