Question Recommendations for building a PC?

[Impala640]

Hi, i’m looking into building a PC and i’m not sure which parts benchmark the best for the respective price. I am working with a budget of around 5800 dollars CAD. That being said I would like to also purchase a racing sim setup for around 500-600 dollars apart of that budget. I’m trying to make it somewhat aesthetically pleasing. I was considering doing some customization with my case and making it bright orange but i’m not sure if that could damage the I/O or stick to the metal. A custom loop seems over priced and impractical for what I need although looking quite pretty unless there’s an easy way to easily build the pipes. The computer will mostly be used for programming (possibly AI training) and sim racing. Thanks and best regards!
