I am not new to PC building; however, I have been out of the pc scene for a while now due to just life and working. I want to get back into playing Sims 4. I have almost all of the in-game content, a shit ton of mods, and Gshade, so I want to invest in good RAM and CPU. i want the game to run as smoothly as humanly possible. I have a Pixio monitor, and I'd like to keep it, but im open to buying something else. Thanks!

New build or upgrade?
New build.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
Starting from scratch.

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Gaming only, I want to get back into WoW but would love to play, with mods and at high settings, Cyberpunk 2077 and potentially VR games.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)
United States, seems like the Tustin Micro Center is closest to me.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
1 monitor, I sadly don't have the space for more. 27" is the smallest I want to go. 4K, 240hz

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Around $2,500–$4,500 USD. I have only used Apple (and still will for work~) and consoles so don't even know how much this is going to cost me. :(

WiFi or wired connection?
Both if possible.

Size/noise constraints?
I would prefer something quieter if possible.

Color/lighting preferences?
I am open to anything. I like both silver, translucent/clear/acrylic, and black and am open to color lights especially if they can be added after. Dream would be a borg cube or something haha but black or silver is fine.

Any other specific needs?
Planning to dual boot Windows 11 and Linux down the line, I think so if I am understanding this correctly, having a single SSD might be best? Again, I am so new to this so I might be confused and wrong.

Thank you for reading all of this and thank you in advance.
