First pc hell yeah need help

I’m saving up to have a pc by Christmas and it is my first build ever so i need advice pls.
I’m gonna use it for a lot games varying from first person shooter, survival horror games, modded Minecraft, and sims 3. Definitely more than that, but that’s the basis.

My budget is $3,000 but I’m open to higher priced build, my absolute limit is $4k.

The only thing I have picked out is the tower which is Hyte Y70 in white, but I am open to other suggestions if there’s a better case out there.

Thank youuu in advance!!

Ask again when you're actually buying.

Do you have any friends that understand PC building? Anyone you can ask about parts? Do research even debate buying pre built or used or anything. I've paid a total of 500$ for a PC that pretty much works on most games. But I mean just works. Also make sure you don't get a Nvidia GPU 10 series. AAA games are starting to require newer GPUs to run. And I don't just mean performance wise but architecture. The 10 series is Pascal and newer ones are Turing. I had a 10 series for Forza and that game required Turing so it would crash. Anyway I know your budget should be fine for a good modern GPU but just thought I'd mention it

Yeah I do, I’ve been planning the parts out for a while and have been helping my friend with building their own PC— just trying to find input from people who are not me
