[SOLVED] Which parts should i get for 1k$ Gaming pc?

[TruthJake]

Thinking about making my dad a gaming pc for Christmas since his old pc is causing him issues for awhile now and that his pc is way overdue for an upgrade.I would say 10yeas+ My max is $1,000. He usually plays games like WoW, Diablo3, and civilization. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Take your pick between AMD RX 5700 XT and Nvidia RTX 2060 Super. Honestly though, those are a bit high-end for those games you mentioned. You could drop down to a GTX 1660, 1660 Super, or 1660 Ti and maybe get some peripherals or something else.
