Hello, I'm just getting started with PC stuff and I've been learning a lot. I'm planning to invest some money to get my first gaming PC, which could cost around $2000 or a bit more. I'm trying to figure out the right GPU, CPU, and motherboard because I'm not sure what I need. I found some videos but they're too complicated for me to understand, so any advice would be really helpful.

Are you looking for a fully assembled PC or are you considering buying the components separately to build your own?

I want to purchase several components and put them together on my own.

You possess a good budget. Could you recover any components from your old PC, such as the keyboard, mouse, or monitor? This might free up funds for other upgrades.

Yes, I need to purchase those but I still have a $2000 budget for the PC.

I'm looking to engage in a game and have some style or size considerations.

There are some games available, particularly the larger ones, and for the size I’ll mention the biggest one.

I refer to the dimensions of the computer and its appearance, such as whether you prefer a wooden panel PC, a compact model, a fish tank, RGB lighting, etc.

What dimensions are available? And I’m uncertain about the style I should aim for when choosing the ones I like.

Basic means there are three types of motherboards: ATX, Micro ATX, and ITX, ordered from largest to smallest. Each has different case sizes, and smaller boards can fit into bigger ones. For instance, mATX fits in ATX but not vice versa. On the PC parts section, you can browse cases and scroll down. With a 2000 budget, you should be able to find something suitable.
