Hi, im new to pc gaming, I just sold my xbox series X. I want a pc that's future proof as well as able to play warzone, rust, and minecraft. I have been looking for a week now and cant find a pre build with everything i want. All i really know is I want 3060 or 3070 minimum gpu.

TIA

You should considering building yourself as you will get more bang for your buck and also be able to handpick all the components... Atleast those that are in stock!

Something like this along with THIS gpu. You can reduce the prices by changing the motherboard but I'm not familiar with other popular boards to be honest. Updated with AIO.

I was thinking the same as you @Joxeon 3060/70 stock is going to be hard to come by, 6800 will get you a GPU this side of Easter.

i want to keep with the 3060/3070 i know its gonna be harder to get

Any reason why?

The 6800 will give more FPS in warzone although if you plan to stream the NVENC on the 3070 will make it the better choice.

i want to stream to twitch as well as in discord and upgrade to the later 3080/3090 models later on, and from what I have read, the value of the 3060/3070 is much better than the 6800. Please correct me if and where I am wrong as its mostly what i have been reading from 1000 different sources lol

An nvidia card will be better for streaming although I'm not sure the value is better unless you can snag a founders edition model as board partner 3070s are now selling for more than I paid for a 3080 at launch. That said the AMD cards are not exactly sticking to MSRP either...

The RTX 3060 hasn't been released yet (Should be the end of Feb). The RTX 3090 is a massive waste of money for 99% of people, and even more so if just gaming. By the time the price drops to something reasonable there will be better gpu's available.

I would just go with the best gpu your budget allows, which will more than likely be an RTX 3070, and then upgrade to an RTX 4000 in a few years.
