Recently made a new steam account, and I got 40 bucks to spend. I am mostly an FPS shooter type of guy, but I also like to try out new types of games.

Overwatch, overwatch, oh and let me think... Oh yeah! OVERWATCH!!! Buy it now you won't regret it. Hell I will play with you tonight on it if you want. Lol.

 

Edit: Yeah don't get CS:GO like people are saying below... At least I am no big fan of it. Also if you decide to get Overwatch be sure to add me: Orangeator#1385

GPU: XFX RX 7900 XTX

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D

Even if these games don't need a great computer they are still great games.

If you are new to PC FPS games I would go with the easier shooters like Dirty Bomb or Team Fortress 2 (both free to play). Overwatch would be an excellent choice if you want to spend money. 

 

Looking for some more realistic FPS I would go Insurgency, Day of Infamy. Battlegrounds is really good right now too. 

 

Save Counter Strike for when you get used to playing FPS on pc as that game takes skill and experience.
