Oh yeah, PC... I don't care so much about size but I do care about noise, so I have one of those totes ridic Noctua NH-D15 coolers the size of a small house, a big Fractal Design Define case, and about 4 or 5 case fans running very, very slowly. No spinny drives (just SSDs), decently cooled model of GPU, and it's all shockingly quiet.
I'd definitely recommend a Ryzen 2 (3xxx) of some sort, with at least 3200MHz RAM, and whatever GPU you want. Nice thing about AMD is that nowadays socket AM4 is used on all of their standard CPUs - you can get a B450 motherboard for a lot less than X570, and it'll do essentially the same stuff.
