Its been a while since i've owned a PC that could handle gaming but I figured I have the money and have been wanting a computer for a while. Any opinions on what would be the best bang for my money? I'm looking to spend roughly $1200 or so and I already have all the peripherals. I play games like Arma, DayZ, Squad, etc and am wanting to get the highest FPS possible on them. Thanks for any advice!

I'd say, if you can, wait. New parts from AMD and NVIDIA are both coming out with parts within the next few months. Where are you located?

Though Intel will give you the most frames, to really utilize it, you will need a z490 board and a cooler. Overall will push you either over budget by $100 or have a slower gpu.

I'd opt for AMD at present, though with new cpu and gpu releases so soon, I wouldn't recommend it.
