[Bglug] New computer build recommendations?

[LP]

" Ryzen 5 3600 " is probably the best bang for your dollars

NVMe onboard is also a must I am using a Samsung 970 EVO Plus great speed without the high cost
A good video card is a must for speeding thigs up dramatically, Hardware Accelleration is the way to go
