Advice on a potential first build

Hello, I am a huge pc gamer and know a good amount about computers, parts, and love the community. I have lived in a small house where I have never had the space to build or own a Gaming PC Tower, I have been using gaming laptops for my pc gaming for now. I'm currently using a ASUS ROG G14 with a 4060 and a Ryzen 9 7940HS. I will hopefully have a room where I can put a desk and a proper PC in the near future.

I just want some advice on my parts list for my potential first build. I'm fine keeping it at $1000-2000. I want the parts to be as simple as possible to put together with good performance. Im willing to upgrade and get better parts later on but for now I wanna keep it simple and as easy as possible to build(since it will be the first time i am building myself). Id rather not try to do AIOs or Watercooling my first time. Id be willing to figure it out later(unless you guys think it wont be too bad). I watch Austin Evans, LTT, Bitwit, and alot of other tech creators and their pc build guides. I can probably tell you every part, where it goes, what it does, but I just have never physically put all of them together to make a working PC.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

since im new to the site it wont let me post a proper link so sorry in advance
