need help building a pc for the first time

hi all ! i'm completely hopeless when it comes to understanding how to build a pc and pc's in general. whatever you think i know, i dont lol. any recommendations or tips are appreciated !! thank you in advance :)

- New build or upgrade?

• New build

- Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

• None

- PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

• Gaming

• Uni work (Nothing demanding, just something to store notes and whatnot)

• List of games: Marvel Rivals, Minecraft (modded, preferably), Roblox, and occasionally Fortnite

• Would like to have Spotify and a game open at the same time without lag or interference

- Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)

• Australia, Sydney (Not near a Micro Center)

- Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

• Up for recommendations, whatever is cheapish but performs well!

• Planning to start with only one monitor and go up to two eventually

- Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

• ≈ 2k AUD (if absolutely necessary, can go up to 2.5k but would prefer not to, obviously)

• Cheap (with good performance) recommendations are welcome and preferred !!

- WiFi or wired connection?

• WiFi

- Size/noise constraints?

• Nothing excessively bulky, but no specific size constraints - however would love to be able to display a figure inside (one thats around 10cm) but not necessary !

• Preferably not too loud?

- Color/lighting preferences?

• Would love for it to be all white, but am okay with a white case and black machinery that feature white lights (?? if those are the correct terms)

- Any other specific needs?

• Nope!
