There is also AMD iGPU options which are good but not good enough for a gaming first machine. The card is available at the time of posting.

Intel Core i5-10400F Review - Six Cores with HT for Under $200

Intel's new Core i5-10400F offers a large performance jump over the previous generation Core i5-9400F because of its six-core/twelve-thread design. In this Core i5-10400F review we also test the feasibility of overclocking through BCLK, or by relaxing the PL1 and PL2 Turbo Limits.

High settings for Warzone is going to require an RTX 3060 and seeing how the gpu prices are insane atm due to the chip shortage you're looking at $750+ for one of those cards.

Mind as well spend the extra 15 dollars to get a 650w fully modular gold G3 from EVGA, right? Also The avaliability for the CPU on that site is "Dropship / Preorder" and I am not sure what dropship is but preorder means its out of stock. It also hurts to spend 400 dollars on a 200 dollar GPU from 2.5 years ago. The 6600 xt is 100% faster and comes with modern I/O for 600.

Join the Newegg shuffle until you get a RTX 3060 video card.
Today they had the card and a decent power supply for 470 bucks.
