Budget (including currency): $1500 or less

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: using for golf simulator (fsx play min RTX3060) and gaming for cities skyline 2 and assassins creed mirage.  I don’t think this could do 4k but it would be nice.  Concerned I am CPU bottlenecked on Cities Skyline 2.

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): 

 

Thoughts on this setup?
