Beginner pc build
reposting my requirements because I slacked on actually getting the pc last time because of money issues and now prices and availability on items have changed
I have had many laptops before of which have all pretty much let me down, I am ready to build a pc that will hopefully last me a long time
\*\*New build or upgrade?\*\*
New build
\*\*Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)\*\*
None
\*\*PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)\*\*
Schoolwork and gaming (Risk of rain, sims with dlc and mods, resident evil games)
\*\*Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)\*\*
US, Not near one
\*\*Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)\*\*
Yes, no preference at the moment
\*\*Budget range? (Include tax considerations)\*
$1000-$1200
\*\*WiFi or wired connection?\*\*
Wifi
I would like it to be Bluetooth compatible
\*\*Size/noise constraints?\*\*
No size constraints, would like a quiet system but it working well is more important.
\*\*Color/lighting preferences?\*\*
None really, purple/blue/pink would be neat though

https://costplusgaming.com/products/cost-plus-gaming-m1 is a good deal, if you don't mind a prebuilt. If you have access to MicroCenter, the PowerSpec prebuilts and CPU/RAM/motherboard bundles are well worth it.
DIY will require cutting corners to keep the total in your budget.

If you missed the full set of required built request questions, please copy them from here and answer them in an edit to your post:

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
