First Gaming PC ever..

Good afternoon,

   I have always been a console player, but have recently been into Rocket League pretty hard. Im in the US and looking to keep the build under about 900 not including monitor. I play with a controller so peripherals other than that aren't a must. I am a certified graduate of Youtube University and can fumble my way around almost any electronics, but this is a tad overwhelming. My wife likes to play SIMS and Zoo Tycoon while my son plays Roblox and minecraft mostly. I still would need it to use to watch netflix or watch my wife drain my bank account on Amazon. Not really worried about RGB and all that as long as it doesnt look like ol' johnny spray painted the rig in his garage. Any ideas on builds would be great as I tried to play RL on my Lenovo ideacenter AIO 520-AST and steadily sat there watching my car stutter while holding a gun at the screen because the frame rates were horrible. Any and all help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance for all the help.

Should i need to consider anything for liquid coling?

 

liquid cooling < air cooling

 

ryzen 5 3600 comes with a cooler and unless you're trying to overclock you should be fine
