Getting Back Into PC Gaming

So I'm about to build my first PC with an i5 6400 and RX 480. It's for gaming (obviously). But the problem is, I haven't gamed on a PC since I was like 6. I started playing on the 360, and eventually a PS4, with titles like Halo, COD, Overwatch, and other FPS. But now that I'm 13 and know what PC's can do (especially custom ones) I'm going back to keyboard and mouse, I need some game recommendations that will help me transition smoothly to the PCMR. Basically what I'm saying is, I don't want to suck. So... any recommendations?

Start with free fps like fist full of frags. A great western shooter on steam. 

Good luck, Have fun, Build PC, and have a Wii and PS2 as your only consoles.

Maybe start with COD since you've played it before? FPSs are where PCs really shine

Hey, I've heard of that! Is it graphically demanding?
