Hello Gaf,
I have been a console gamer all my life, and never tried to get into PC gaming. I was afraid of being complicated to build one, and expensive. Plus, I wanted the convenience of plug and play.
However, I did a lot of reading and found out it is not that hard to build a gaming PC. In fact, I felt it was kind of easy, and had no major issues building my first one!
this is what I came up with:

Now that I have a very good rig, what games do you recommend for me to play on PC?
I am not a fan of RPG games, MMORPG, or strategy ones, everything else I play. I own ps4, xbox one and switch, so I probably have played most exclusives of each console.
What are PC exclusives that are must have?
Thanks !!!
