Need a new build

Hey everyone, I need to build a new PC soon bc my current one isn't cutting it anymore, and it'll be too much of a hassle to upgrade.

I just use my PC for gaming, browsing and streaming. I'm most comfortable building with intel/nvidia, and I prefer a liquid cpu cooler. No peripherals necessary, at least for the time being.

TIA!
