First PC with $2000-$2500 budget

New build or upgrade? New Build

Existing parts/monitors to reuse: None this is my first ever PC

PC purpose: Gaming, with the biggest games being BG3 and Sims 4 (HEAVILY modded), Genshin Impact, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Origins. Plus the ability for some audio and photo editing

Purchase country? Near Micro Center: USA, no

Monitors needed: 2 but they have a separate budget ($300-$600)

Budget range: Around $2000–$2500 USD for the PC only.

WiFi or wired: WiFi

Size / noise constraints: None, prefer less noise

Color / lighting preferences: Green/Purple (I’m going for Green Dark academia meets Purple cosy witchy vibes)

Any other specific needs?

Want a long-lasting build (around 4-5 years) I am very new to PC stuff (I have been using a gaming laptop for the past 5 years) and will take any and all suggestions
