Question New PC build

[H2S04]

Howdy, Team.

I’m looking to build a new PC due to win10 EOL next year, my budget is around 2.5k+, I would like to start with getting a CPU and MB, I see that AMD is now preferred choice for CPU's. What would you recommend for games and applications?

Do you need ALL of these parts with that 2500? If not, which?

Monitor
Operating system
Case
Motherboard
CPU
RAM
Video card
Power supply
CPU cooler
Fans other than what's included with the case
Boot drive
Other drives

Preference for RGB? Air cooling?
