Want to build a new pc

Want to build my first PC.

>**1. What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games (ex: resolution, FPS, settings) or programs you will be using.**

Most like will be using for games with decent fps, and also used for coding. I dont want it to slow down when using both

>**2. What is your maximum PRE-TAX budget before rebates and shipping?**

2k CAD

>**3. When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.**

Whenever the cheapest i guess, not sure

>**4. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ex: tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)**

I will reuse keyboard, mouse and monitor

>**5. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? How old are they? Brands and models are appreciated.**

Keyboard - wired, red dragon more than 3years old
Mouse - wired,Wireless - Tecknet BT mouse.
Monitor - Acer ET322QR

>**6. Will you be overclocking (ex: CPU/GPU/RAM)? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line?**

Dont know what that is so probably no

>**7. Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, VR, VirtualLink, tensor cores, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)**

Need SSD, wifi/bluetooth others not that imp

>**8. Do you have any specific case preferences (ex: mITX/mATX/mid-tower/full-tower sizes, styles, colours, window or not, LED lighting, etc.), or a particular color theme preference for the components?**

Anything looking decent should do, nothing modern or high end.

>**9. Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? Note: some post-secondary students can get Windows 10 for free.**

Not really, I can use linux or puchase some keys online for cheap.

>**10. Will you be upgrading this PC in the future (ie: will you swap out better parts later on or will you build an entirely new tower later)? If so, when?**

I want to in the future for better gpu and cpu combos for more high resolution and fps gaming.

>**11. Do you have a brand preference? (ex: AMD/Intel for CPUs, AMD/NVIDIA for video cards, etc)**

Not really.

>**12. What are the specs of your old PC / laptop? Do you want to see if it can be upgraded instead? If so, paste its build from PCPartPicker here.**

Using a Dell inspiron 15 7000 2-in-1. Upgraded ram to 32gb. This pc is slowing down at times even after cleaning up.

>**13. Extra info or particulars:**
Prefer if a liquid cooled or AIR cooled AIO combo with less noise. Currently own 1080p 60Hz monitor, will upgrade to something with atleast 100hz soon.

Combo I got from claude when researching(around 2.5k)
CPU: Amd rayzon 7 7700x
MB: MSI X670E Tomahawk, AM5(5,7,9 series)
Ram: DDR5 6000hz
