Ditching my console for a PC

Hello, Ive been out of the PC gaming world for about 10 years (my last rig was running dual radeons on crossfire!). I haven't been keeping up with processors or GPUs so I would love some help picking out a new pre-built.

  • 1000-1300$ USD
  • Able to play modern FPSs (BF6, Helldivers2, CP2077) and simulations (Cities2, Anon117) at 1080p
  • I already have a monitor/peripherals 

I was looking at something like this, but it was on the expensive side

The ryzen 7 and a decent radeon gpu seem like a safe combo but I also have no idea what Im talking about.

Any suggestions would be helpful! Thank you all in advance!

Kinda bad time to move to a PC.
Thanks to A-fucking-I hype, RAM price went bonkers rn. Like..., real bonkers.

tl;dr : Even NVIDIA and AMD is having a hard time to buy some rn.

 

So yeah, I'd say prob best to just stick to prebuilt or (ugh) laptop.
IF they are like when Crypto GPUpocalypse happened and doesn't jack up the RAM price skyhigh too that is.
