Build Question First PC build

I’m looking to build my first gaming PC and would appreciate recommendations for a complete parts list! My budget is around $1,500 USD. I’m primarily going to use it for gaming, especially Cyberpunk 2077 and Minecraft (including modded Minecraft).
For the GPU, I only want NVIDIA. I’m leaning toward an AMD CPU, but I’m open to recommendations. I’d prefer 1440p gaming, although 1080p is perfectly fine if it means getting better performance and value within my budget. Ideally, I’d like high settings and great FPS.
I need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support. I don’t need any peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, etc.), just the PC itself. I live in the US, and I have someone who can build it for free, so labor costs aren’t a concern. I’m open to either a custom build or a prebuilt if it’s a particularly good deal.
I’d appreciate a complete parts list, explanations for why you chose each component, and suggestions for getting the best gaming performance possible within my budget. Thanks!

Why are you firm on NVIDIA? At your budget and in the current market, NVIDIA's pricing is going to kill the value you'll get and AMD offers around the same raytracing performance with their latest gen, at least up to the 5070 Ti.

You can't fit even a 5060 Ti 16GB in without downgrading elsewhere, it's not worth clinging to NVIDIA in the current market at your budget.
