Listen guys I appreciate anyone who helps. I'm not clueless on this subject I'm just looking at others opinions.

Are you looking at AAA games or just random steam games?
Any early access? Need to know so we can put more focus on gpu if needed.

$850 is a bit restrictive actually. Might need to increase budget or tell us how into 3D rendering you need the PC to be.

Overwatch, PUBG which I know is pretty un-optimized, anyways I would like a pretty nice gpu for future games as well.

Really comes down to what you're willing to sacrifice. Imo, that would be the watercooler and more $$

Hard to squeeze gpus into sub $1000 builds as they are still overpriced due to crypto miners

As far as well balanced, build should exceed 3D rendering requirement by quite a bit but still fall short on gaming requirements if you're looking at early access games.

Alright, let's go with no rendering but exclusively gaming.
i5-7600k seems to be a better choice then ryzen 1600 for the same price give or take.

i wouldn't run a 7600k on an air cooler
wait for zwix to post, he has some excellent builds and occasionally posts builds i cant think of
