It's been awhile, I have been out of the PC gaming\hardware scene for about 6 years, below are my current specs (a bit dated I know), I am looking for a modest upgrade, my current specs did me well for awhile if that gives you a better understanding of my comfort level.

Mobo: Z170A SLI Plus

CPU: i7-6700K 4.00GHz

Memory: Kingston HyperX FURY Black 16GB 2133MHz DDR4

GPU: Radeon RX 580 8GB

Power Supply: EVGA 600 B1, 80+ BRONZE 600W

I am not looking to replace or upgarde, I am looking to put together a new build.

I'd say my budget would be around $1000 - $1200 on the high-end, I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. I

Gaming mostly, Division, Deep Rock Galactic, I don't run anything GPU intensive

Are you sure, I've been waiting since 2022 for you to reply to your thread here  :whistle:

 

Keeping $100 aside for purchasing Windows 11 your budget will get you a decent build, go here fo ideas.

For example? For an idea?

Could use the 8700G  instead or reuse the RX 580 in this or another possible build (Intel?)

Build #3 look good but the RAM needs to be dropped from 6000 to 48MT/s to be compatible with the i5 14500 CPU

Here's one using slightly older tech like DDR4 & a 12th gen i5-12600KF which I think is probably still a reasonable choice for the value it offers.
