latest games at 1080 / 60 you'll need a GTX 1070 or better or a GTX1660 or better. A 1650 will probably dip below 60FPS in some games.

CPU wise the 3100 should do it but a 3300X (used) would be way better. Also look at used Ryzen 2600.
The list below has everything except GPU (look for a used 1070, 1660, 1660 Super) and you'll need a wired xbox controller and a headset.
