I'm trying to finish putting together a decent build for gaming to play games like Insurgency Sandstorm and Squad. So I'm willing to spend some extra $ on the GPU, memory, and CPU to get good performance but trying not to spend more than I need to just to play these games. But with that said I still want good performance. My older gaming rig built over 5 years ago can barely handle these games so it's time to upgrade. So far this is what I put together for the build.

- NZXT Phantom 530 ATX Case - I purchased this case a few years ago but never got around to building it. At least now I don't need to buy a case
- EVGA 750 watt G3 PSU - also bought this a while back to use on my old gaming system but never used it.
- Samsung EVO SSD 500 Gb drive from an older system built a few years back.
- Intel Core i5 9600k CPU $260
- Asus Prime z370-A II Mobo $140
- Dark Rock 4 CPU cooler but open to getting a water cooler or even just a cheap Hyper 212 since they worked well on my other builds.
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb 3200 (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) $85
- GTX 1660 GPU $230-$300 price range
- Gaming monitor? Looking at a lot of options from Ben-Q and Asus.
