First PC!

So... this will, after rebates cost less than $500 US, Has wifi, and 8GB RAM. Also has SSD(enough to OS and pagefile) for storage the external drive you mentioned will be an absolute necessity. The graphics card is extremely low end, but the PSU chosen will give you room to ugprade that later.

For case I am currently loving this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rcfmP6/diypc-case-rangerr4r

 

RGB multiple fans included and low price.

those don't have RGB fans, they're just red LED fans.
