I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations as to PC's that I could buy with a that have a good CPU (Preferably Intel) for gaming and ddr4 RAM. I currently have a GTX 1060 (Which I'll probably upgrade sooner or later) but I have a terrible CPU (i7 920) which really isn't cutting it, and my motherboard is only capable of ddr3. If anybody cares It's a Dell studio XPS 435t hand-me-down which I put 16gb of ram in, my 1060 and a new power supply. If anybody could recommend some PC's that i could buy and simply upgrade that would be great.

Not knowing the make/model of your power supply, I added one in the event yours is not of sufficient quality.

Nothing crazy priced, but it doesn't need to be too low, probably 500-600ish range
Edit: also it doesn’t need to be intel but their CPU’s are more what I’m familiar with
