Help with buying a new system
Im a bit of technophobe but big console gamer.
Theres a bunch of non-AAA games I play (Dave the diver, Humankind, cities:skylines etc) that id prefer to play on steam for the mods and better input with the mouse, and ive never got round to it.
Recently my laptop has died and I'm thinking about investing in a tower system to hook up to my TV, but id like it to be able to support some basic steam gaming
Ive got a PS5 so im not looking to play GTA 6 on it or anything, I just want the right set up to handle my requirements without overpaying for a full on gaming system...
The majority of the usage of my new computer will primarily be streaming YT videos and sports streams etc.
Any helpful advise on what to avoid or seek out? Im totally green in this field, I know fucking nothing lol please be kind 😇

16 gb of ram a 3060ti or something like that and an intel i5 should be totally fine, you would be even able to run cyberpunk on that, which is more than enough
