Rip off for a 1660 TI with 6GB of RAM.
For the same price you can get a rig with a 3070 from Microcenter:

Better option would be to get something like this and upgrade the RAM yourself:

Thank you. Would you please suggest a monitor 25’ from amazon to go with it >?

Depends on what you want. Image quality? High fresh rate? A good balance?

Personally, I used this for WoW and it was gorgeous.

I’m more an image snob than high refresh rates and get hardware accordingly though.

Thank you . I really am over thinking this. Starting to stress me out lol. I have only been playing on a laptop for the past 10 years. Dang system have changed a LOT

Looks good but I personally would not get any vid card with less than 8gb of RAM

Should be fine.

I would probably go for a 5600 over a 5800 and put the extra money toward a better gpu if you’re primarily looking at a gaming rig. 5600 is more than enough for about any game you can throw at it and runs cool. Research the case/cooling components to make sure they aren’t notorious for overheating issues as well.
