Hi! Thank you for considering PC!

 

You have a lot of venues to get into it, but i always recommend the same way that PC enthusiasts have done for generations, either asking someone else to build it for you or building it yourself. I highly recommend you watching Linus' video on this topic, it is a nightmarishly long video (its 20 minutes short of being same in length to Hereditary, and excludes the supplemental videos to this guide thats explicitly referred) but it gives you the most comprehensive how-to from picking up parts to the point you are booting in windows.

If you are not looking forward to that, i highly recommend you to shop "Boutique" prebuild. What i mean by this is system integrators that build PCs from off the shelf components, which would help A LOT in repair, diagnostics, and subsequent upgrade down the road. There are a lot of players on the block, and there are a lot of bad apples. I recommend you to check out Gamers Nexus deep dives on these boutique stores competence.

adding to what @SorryClaire said, said, if you go with DIY, then this video will also be helpful for you-

also, be sure to get a Nvidia (RTX 4000 series would be best) card or a Radeon 7000 series card for their encoding capabilities. 

 

be sure to check in with the community here before pulling the trigger on a new system so we can help improve your choices!!!

Hi, you didn't say what your budget was so I just went all out. I got you pretty much the best of everything and this PC WILL do everything.

 

If you have any questions please let me know.
