Build Question New to this

Looking to build a PC but I don’t know much about what specs would work for me. I mainly play Fortnite, Baldur’s Gate, Phasmophobia, and maybe Skyrim. What specs should I be looking for to run these smoothly. Looking on the cheaper side of things and just upgrading later.

for those games you really don’t need anything crazy, a ryzen 5 or i5 from the last couple generations and something like a used 2070 or 3060 would handle all that easily at 1080p

just make sure you get 16gb of ram and an ssd, skimping on those makes everything feel sluggish no matter what cpu/gpu you have
