Budget (including currency):  1100 usd

Country: America

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Roblox, rainbow six seige, fortnite, assetto corsa, witcher 3, youtube, and homework.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I want dual monitors with at least 60hz refresh and 1080p. RTX would be nice. And I need a keyboard and mouse. I was going to buy it really soon (before christmas, probably on black friday).

Are those peripherals included with the PC? Even if you buy fairly shit keyboard, mouse, and monitors you'd only have about 800 USD left over for the PC. If you wanted anything remotely decent, you'll probably have closer to 600 USD for the PC.

Quote me to see my reply!

Here are some notes -
I couldn't fit a 144hz in w/ a 2nd monitor
If you want RTX you would have to wait a couple of months for the 3060 to launch (should be around 350), or you could buy a used 2070
The keyboard is kinda unknown, but its great for the price
The mouse is great, but if you have large hands/use a palm grip, i'd swap it out for a g203 (its $15 at bestbuy rn, its a great gaming mouse)

I was able to sneak in a 1TB nvme, ideally you'll save $50 by getting a used RTX2070 or 5700xt and you can definitely find a used razer keyboard/mouse for around the same price as a new cheap keyboard mouse combo. 

The best gaming PC is the PC you like to game on, how you like to game on it

Btw I am only playing games (not streaming or rendering or anything like that) so from what I read the 10600k is your best option for gaming and overclocking

I would move over to AMD with a Ryzen 5 3600 (once its price drops to $200) and an ASRock B550M Pro 4, and some different RAM that's on the QVL here.

Also a different PSU - 800 watts for $70? I advise no. This might be better.

Queue disagreement below x2.

PLEASE STOP [Killing] ME I WILL GIVE Y OU ANOTHER DEAL.

Why would I switch to the 5 3600? It is not as strong as the i5 in terms of clock speed. And why would I pay more for less wattage on the psu?

The power supply you selected is not as reliable, and the Ryzen 5 3600 is cheaper and slightly better (I think). If you would like to stick to Intel, go ahead.

Back to the PSU, a good quality 800 watt power supply is about $125-$150. As you don't need 800 watts, a 650 watt unit from Seasonic should be fine.
