Looking to build a pc and will tip some fg for help <3

Budget: $1000 (the less the better, but if I need to spend a bit more that's fine too)

Things I will be using it for:
- Gaming (League of Legends, Diablo II, Runescape)
- Photo editing (Lightroom & Photoshop)
- Watching Netflix/Youtube
- Office use (Microsoft Office Apps)
- Coding

I would like to be able to run multiple programs at quick speeds, not worry about overheating (will be left on a majority of the time), have plenty of storage, have high FPS for gaming, and a good sound card
Also 2x nice monitors to handle everything (20-22 inches works)

100-1000fg tip depending on level of help (links to educate me on what I'm buying as well as helping me find the complete setup, etc.)
Tip will go to one person who helped the most!

*If more info is needed please let me know*

You expect far too much from us for a possible 1-10$ worth of fg.

R5 3600 is the most well rounded budget cpu you can get. No questions there. If you wanted to spend a little bit more I'd recommended the 10600k as it replaces it on a higher budget with much better everything. It even beats out on multi core performance and quad core performance. However the boards are more expensive as well.

The board should come Matisse ready so you shouldn't have to flash the BIOS to get the ryzen chip to work.

The memory kit I picked out is because you can tighten the timings and overclock it pretty easy on those trident sticks since they have the b-die chips. Spend a little more and you can get a Neo Z kit at 3600mhz. Those have huge overclocking potential for Ryzen.

The Video card is solid for 1080p gaming. Best card you can get at that price range. Spending a little more? Get a 2070 non super.

I picked a WD green SSD as they are reliable in my eyes unlike some of the other off brands. And the HDD is easily the most popular 2TB storage drive at its price point plus it has a nice cache for faster IOPS. Want a little more space get a Toshiba X300.

Good luck getting a decent power supply for cheap right now. The unit I picked is an 80+ bronze with plenty of amps to run your system and it has a 3 year warranty but I normally shoot for anything with 5 years minimum. The case has a power supply shroud so you can tie off unused cables and hide them underneath. Pick a different case if you want.

I've also never had any issues with creative sound cards. There might be cheaper ones but that one has multi channel 7.1 surround. The included software is always nice with them as well. Although onboard audio is pretty good for most boards so im not really sure if you even need a sound card. It will sound crispy af with that card though.

***Due to pretty much everything being short in supply any of those items may or may not be in stock. Bad time to buy computer parts period.

he just said "2 nice monitors between 20-22 inches"
didn't know such a thing existed in that size
Guess you could go to best buy and get some half decent ones since they price match amazon 75-120hz gsync if you're lucky cause their stock has been shit for years



But yeah @ the other dude i've never used a sound card cause all the onboard audio is fine for gaming. like something like that card would be used for light studio stuff. overkill for desktop/gaming
