looking for advice for a first build gaming PC

ander51

Budget (including currency): like to have it at 1500 US dollars with a max of 2000 US dollars

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: variety of games like Skyrim, Red Dead 2 games like this, and to use as a daily workstation but not a total need since I do have a Macbook Pro that I use as a workstation but really want to build a PC to be able to play games and move from being a console player.

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):  https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x7ZGZZ
