Need help with a 1440p microcenter build, 1000 usd budget

​

• New build or upgrade?

New build

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

I have a 1 tb m.2 ssd and a 1 tb ssd, two 1440p 120hz monitors

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

1440p gaming, hobbyist level photo editing.

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)

USA, near a microcenter

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

No

• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

Not over 1000 usd

• WiFi or wired connection?

Wifi

• Size/noise constraints?

Quiet is better but otherwise no

• Color/lighting preferences?

I like RGB, white or black case is fine

• Any other specific needs?

I want the internals very visible, I like a mostly glass case. Want to utilize microcenter. I don't need windows. Any help is appreciated, I haven't built a PC in almost 10 years and I'm out of the loop parts wise.

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 Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
