I don't know the area, so I can't really recommend anywhere. Newegg* have a build serve though - but you'd need to buy everything via them. The links I posted are from various stores, whichever have the lower prices today, but Newegg should stock almost everything.

Other than that, you could look to a local store*.....just read reviews on them, make sure they know what they're doing etc.

*Newegg or your local store will almost certainly charge a fee for the service. Likely ~$100 or so - so bare that in mind too.

OR - my preferred option
Build it yourself. While you may not trust...

Did it come with a Wraith cooler or no? If not, the loud noise in your computer is most likely the CPU fan; the older FX coolers came with jet turbines for fans. I wound up upgrading to a 240mm AIO water cooling system just to get rid of the noise.

Not much like a whine, more of like a very loud fan type of noise. Wrote specs down in the comments if you can check it out there

You're talking ~6 months out.... which is a little tough to judge at this point.

Your budget is reasonable for what you want, especially at that resolution.

You could look to either AMD Ryzen or Intel's Kabylake...... while Intel (generally) have the lead in Gaming, for a comparable cost Ryzen provided additional cores/threads......which may be useful in future (or for additional tasks).

A couple of options:

Intel - Overkill for your resolution:

Or a combination.....

If it were me, I'd take the R5 1500X + 1050TI for that resolution - The CPU should have a long shelf-life, is more ;useful' outside of just gaming and is overclockable too. Just my opinion though.

Build it yourself. While you may not trust yourself right now, provided you do your homework, read the manuals, take reasonable precautions & stop and ask for help (here, or elsewhere) if you're stuck etc.... It shouldn't be a problem.

Anybody, within reason can do it. (obviously certain disabilites will make it more difficult, if not impossible)
It's much, much more rewarding to look at your new setup and think "hey, I built that"...... but I also understand it's not for everyone.
