Budget (including currency): under $1300

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: golf simulator 

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’m trying to either build or a buy a PC to use with a golf simulator. The requirements will be below. I’ve never built a computer before.  Cab someone help me build one or should I just buy a pre build? If I buy a pre build I’d like one that I can maybe upgrade parts in the future if needed. I found this on Newegg, does this seem good or should I build my own. Thanks in advance.

here is a similar system with a 3060, which is this generation of GPU. It'll be a little better than a 2060, with the trade off of a lesser CPU. Not sure what is more important to a golf sim.

 

EDIT: In most modern games, the system I posted would perform better overall since the i5 10400 should be able to keep up with the 3060. however I am not familiar with how intensive golf sims are on the CPU. If you plan on a 4k build, then a 2060 would not cut it Unforchunately. 

Sorry I probably edited my post. Refresh plz. Build Specs Below.

Wow that looks great. The GPU is definitely more important for golf simulators. Sorry if a dumb question, but could I upgrade the CPU at a later date if necessary?

Yea you should be able to as they it should be an ASUS TUF Motherboard. It should support the 10400's socket which is LGA1200.
