This is based off the “Great tier” AMD build, but I’m waffling a bit on the price. I don’t really know a whole lot about PC specs, but I read this is supposed to be a good long-lasting build based on the DDR5 and something newer in the CPU or Video card. That being said, I’ve only really ever build mid-tier and while I do want something nice, I’m just not sure it’s necessary for me? I tend to stick to Indie titles and the most demanding game I’ve played lately was BG3 (which my current PC has to be on med-low settings to run).
Also, if anyone has a good 22" monitor recommendations I’ll take them.

Gamers Nexus said they will do a Cities Skylines 2 benchmark next week I think. Not that it will necessarily change your build at all, I’m guessing this will handle it fine and the Gamers Nexus benchmarks of BG3 would have you walking away with the same set of conclusions that you’ve already arrived at.
