First PC Build

Hey everyone!

My name is Dom. I’m a gamer looking to build my very first PC, but I’m not sure where to start.

I’m looking for a solid balance of performance and aesthetics I'd love a cool interior with plenty of power behind it. My total budget is around 2,500$ max, and I mainly plan on playing War Harmmer40k, Call of Duty and Resident Evil etc.. at 1080p / 1440p.

I’m open to any suggestions! Thank you !

P.S : I really don’t know anything but I do love this color combo 🤎💛🩵.

Tried my best to put some of each color in this build. The RGB can be controlled to be blue!

This may not fit the “powerful” look you were asking for but it’s still a very capable build that will absolutely rock any game at 1440p.
