Yeah, you have to define affordable. For some, that’s $300, others $3000.

Quick answer is just go to pcpartpicker.com and look at other people’s builds for your budget.

Bang for your buck… Just go midrange AMD cpu, don’t worry about core count. Most games aren’t cpu bottlenecked like they used to be.

Motherboard, just grab a reliable brand, don’t overspend.

16gb ram, speed won’t matter much and it’s not that much more than 8gb.

1tb m.2 ssd drive. You can always get more storage later

Cheap case, good quality power supply probably 600 watt would get 90% use cases.

Don’t forget to budget for windows or use Linux if you go that path, your monitor, mouse/keyboard, speakers or headphones.

After all that, than buy the highest end graphics card left in your budget.
