I'm retiring my current PC (specs in my sig)... time to build something a bit more modern.

I play some games and it would be nice to finally use high settings for once. I only stream on occasion with friends, but not often enough to worry much about it when considering the build.

My budget is around $1800 USD (~£1400). I have not kept up with hardware news in general, so I'll need a helping hand in putting together the build. Side note, I'm not to worried about aesthetics of the tower, since only the front panel will be visible.

Any suggestions for starting point?

Thanks for the feedback. I'm in the U.S. My current monitor is 1080p, and I expect to stick with it for a few more years at least. Eventually I'll go 4k, but not for a while yet.

I should have included that my goal is to do a complete new build. I plan to use my old PC for other purposes.
 
Thank you both for the feedback. A friend mentioned that there was a good deal on a 7900 GRE

ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 7900 GRE 16GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Video Card RX7900GRE CL 16GO ($453 after the promo code which puts it ~$150 under the 4070 Super)

How does that card stack up against the 4070 Super? Would I be losing a lot of performance?
 
So I have one last bit that I didn't consider...
I've typically run a smaller SSD with my OS on it and would store my stuff different drives. Is that still a worthwhile approach? (The thought behind it was that my stuff wouldn't be impacted if I had issues with my OS and I could reformat and install new OS without worries of impacting anything but the OS.)
