hi!

I have been gaming for a while, but I haven't had many people to play with, and I am not tech-savvy. I've recently been wanting to switch over from the few games I play on my Mac (Modded Minecraft, Unpacking, Dredge, things like that)over to a pc or something that can handle some higher-visual-graphics games (like Baldurs Gate or South of Midnight) my computers pretty old and she sounds like a plane taking off just playing vanilla minecraft sometimes so I don't think she can handle anymore. Does anyone have any tips for making this switch? prebuilt pc or building my own? Which is better if I have zero experience with these things?

Most of my setup and general vibe is very cottagecore, natural vibe, so I would definitely like recommendations for pc's involving that vibe.

Also, to give more info pricing wise im thinking 1500 USD.

Really, I am just looking for advice as I know nothing about this stuff.

thanks:)

I want to build a pc for gaming mainly, but also the possibility of running other programs used for art, like Adobe Illustrator and Blender. I am mainly a cozy gamer who enjoys games with a lot of story and pretty visuals.

New build or upgrade? - new build

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? - I would like the Hyte Y70 touch infinite for the case https://hyte.com/store/y70/cs-hyte-y70tti-ww. Although if a better case exists for a cottagecore/nature theme, definitely suggest it! I mainly picked this one because of the size and screen, allowing for a lot of customization when it comes to decor inside and outside the case. I also already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

PC purpose? - (Gaming, editing, digital art programs) - Games like Baldur's Gate, and Minecraft with mods, but I also want to use it for Blender and Photoshop.

Purchase country? the US

Monitors needed? I already have a monitor, not sure how great it is, but it was a gift, and I've been happy with it so far.

Budget range? (Include tax considerations) - Around $1500-1700 USD

WiFi or wired connection? I am not sure what this means, but I'm guessing I want a Wifi connection?

Size/noise constraints? - I'm not sure fully, but I guess, however big the case is. And I guess as quiet as possible.

Colour/lighting preferences? - I'd like LED lights in the pc. I am thinking I want a nature/cottagecore theme, so more natural-looking colors would be great. Greens and browns and warm-toned lighting.

Any other specific needs? - Any cute decorations or addons, I like PCs that have mini screens that show displays in them!!

Anyone who responds, thank you! I am totally lost when it comes to this stuff.

happy to answer any questions as well!
