First PC build

[heathbar_candy]

Budget (including currency): $1200 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly just used for casual gaming: Witcher 3, Skyrim, Overwatch, Planet Zoo, The Sims, etc.

Other details: Previous PC is 7yrs old and it's age is showing so just looking for something that can last another 5yrs at least. No need for mouse, keyboard, or monitors (I have 2). I'm looking to buy in the next couple months.

I do prefer Nvidia GeForce graphics cards.

Wait for newer Nvidia cards like the supposed 3060 to hit the market, you could probably swap the CPU for a 5000 series AMD CPU as well, with a B550 motherboard.

This list is likely to need updating in a couple months time so it's best to ask again when you actually plan to buy, instead of right now.
