Hello, as the title reads I'm in the market for a gaming PC. this is my first real one, I'm sure my budget is way higher than it needs to be for what I want. So feedback is appreciated, could you please "build" it for me and leave a link, thanks!

Here's an idea of the type of games I'd like to be able to max out. Some of these are a given.
- Rising Storm 2 Vietnam
- Squad
- Stranded Deep
- The Forest
- Escape from Tarkov
- Fallout 4
- Fallout New Vegas on "ultra" with mods
- Gta V
- Metal Gear Solid 5
- PUBG
- Killing Floor 2
- Bomber Crew
-Mount and Blade Bannerlord
*I also would like the ability to play VR*

I've played consoles my whole life so I'm not completely sure of what my money can really get me. Thanks again!

The part list shown has an OS, monitor, Logitech headset, Corsair Mouse and Keyboard.

I personally use the Corsair Harpoon and it is pretty good to be honest, despite it's low price.

Instead of a speaker, I have given a headset.
