Hi there! I bought my last PC in 2015, so it's been a while since I've needed to go computer shopping. I figured this Black Friday would be a good time for it, so I'm wondering what I should look for. Honestly, my current PC is still good, but it has Windows 7 so I'll probably just use it for business purposes in the future. I'd like something more powerful than what I have now, but it doesn't need to be top of the line. I would mainly use it for gaming (e.g. Sea of Thieves, Halo infinite, and other newer games), web surfing and watching videos. I just don't want to have to replace this in five years or whatever. I will include the major parts of my current PC in a list below. Ideally I'd like to spend $1k or less on this and am in the US. I already have a monitor, so I won't need a new one, though I'm not sure how to find the refresh rate. Thank you for your time and have a good day!
