You just assembled your new PC with a Ryzen 1600X, an ASUS 1050 Ti ROG Strix, and 16GB RAM. For Far Cry: Primal and Rise of the Tomb Raider, consider these options: the game runs smoothly on mid-range hardware, but if you want better performance or future-proofing, upgrading to a higher-end GPU like an RTX 3060 or similar would be ideal. Otherwise, stick with what you have for now.
Owned a Fortnite on console, same for Far Cry 4, also have CS:GO and GTA for PC and console, possibly try Wildlands next.
PC's take on Forza is really impressive, particularly when played on Ultra—though I'm unable to access it because of my CPU limitations.
With Forza available on the console, you can also get a copy for your PC without buying separately.
You're just starting out. What kinds of games do you enjoy? @JoshPJ It's easier to find good titles if you share your preferred genres or interests, so you don't waste money on suggestions that might not fit. As mentioned before, if you own an Xbox One, some games might be available for free on PC—though I'm not sure how the process works (because of Win10). If you do, check it out. PUBG probably won't run well even on a low setting on your PC, and I wouldn't recommend it right now. Farcry... after about two hours, it gets pretty dull, and Wildlands is quite similar to Farcry. I'd suggest trying Siege instead.
It needs a digital version for Xbox play anywhere to count as valid. The PC edition works well now, though I used to think differently. Performance and scaling have improved significantly over time. There’s also a demo if you prefer not to download the full game. Just keep in mind where you install it—steam files can be tricky to relocate.
