You don't want me picking your computer for you because I have expensive tastes. But dialing back a little I came up with this on PC part picker:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mNRDgw

That includes monitor for $1746, so if you already have a monitor then knock off $286 making the machine sub $1500 before tax. Also you might be able to carry other components over from your old computer to your new one, like SSD/HD etc. as long as the parts are beefy enough to handle the newer specs. For example I brought over my old power supply because it was a 1000 watt PSU so I knew it could handle the power needed by the graphics card, processor, mobo etc. I also brought over my last m.2 SSD to add to my 1TB one that I bought to give me a backup drive of sorts.

This build is just something I threw together, there's more work that goes into each individual part to see which is best based on reviews of the product. PC Part Picker is a great website for tinkering around with builds.

I just built my new computer after I got taxes back and I spared very little expense. I would recommend looking up YouTube videos if you're going to compare pre-built vs. do it yourself. YouTube channels like Gamers Nexus/Pauls Hardware, BitWit, OC3D and JayzTwoCents have great content for builders and stick around certain price ranges as well.
