You're familiar with modern gaming setups but stick to 2nd/3rd generation components. The i7 3770 works well for 1080p at high settings in games like RDR2 and Modern Warfare when paired with a 980 Ti. 2nd/3rd gen Intel CPUs have limited threads, so newer engines prefer 8 threads. I know you're in the US, but in the UK you can easily find good deals on overclocked 2nd/3rd gen boards, CPUs, and coolers for around $150—similar prices should work here too. Look on eBay or Craigslist to see local options. You might get better value by buying a used all-in-one Dell for about $100 and adding a GPU like the 1060 3GB or a 980 Ti for performance, rather than buying each part separately. Ideally, you'd need a power supply over 500W, an i7 3770, two 8GB DDR 1600mhz RAM sticks, and either a 1060 6GB GPU or a 980 Ti for optimal performance. It's unlikely you'll find all parts under $350 individually, so consider buying a used desktop together as a bundle.
