Christmas is coming, and I'm thinking a family PC is on the cards from santa.

It would need to run minecraft and Lego city undercover and that sort of thing.

I already have a spare TUF 750W bronze rated power supply (that I bought one time I was troubleshooting).

I will also probably upgrade my RX5700XT graphics card so put that in this build (suggestions welcome for a good bang for buck replacement that's good for a server running Mint and ollama (needs high VRAM) as well as used for gaming).

Everything else would be new. Suggestions for monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers too please!

Let's aim for a ballpark of $1000USD (I'll be purchasing in New Zealand).

Thanks in advance!

There are some cheap- and mid-priced builds here you can use for comparison/inspiration:
