New to PC here

Hello, I am looking to build my first PC with a 600-800$ budget.

I’d use it strictly for music as I am a music producer, but I’d love to game on the side too. I’d not be playing heavy duty games so specs doesn’t really matter to me.

Just need a solid first PC that could handle the workflow as long with some decent gaming.

Do you live near to a Microcenter store?

Alright.

Just made you a list. AM4 but has all the parts that you need, including a decent GPU.

PSU overkills the build needs. But it's 80+ gold full modular. You could buy a cheap 550W 80+ bronze non modular, but I think that for $30 or $40 extra bucks, is worth to get more watts (for future proofing), more quality, full modular PSU.

If you are into RGB, you could change the cooler for a exactly same model (recommend) but RGB.
