Here is what you do. Buy a used prebuilt that is around 2-3 years old off CL or facebook, or a local pawnshop. Don't spend more than $300 on it, but make sure it is decent. Then spend around $200 on a graphics card, and $50 on a power supply that can handle the card. Buy a cheap used/new monitor, don't spend more than $150, but get one that is relatively new, and supports a decent resolution. Buy any cheap full sized keyboard new, and splurge and buy a decent mouse brand new. For a headset, look for used PS Gold wireless headsets. They shouldn't cost more than $30 for the headset + reciever, and they are extremely comfortable. The headband is crap plastic though and will start cracking with normal use, but you can just tape over it and keep going, as mechanically they are actually pretty nice.
I have used a cheap logitech keyboard that cost me $10 new for over 10 years now, without issues
I finally replaced my G5 mouse that I bought at the same time because the right click was starting to have issues, and I just replaced it with a G502, which is nice to palm with my large hands, but can still be claw gripped if that is more your style.
I also use a Prebuilt HP Envy that is at least 5 years old now, but I can run all those games you listed on max or close to max settings without issues, mostly because the load is handled by the graphics card.
Just remember, if you are putting a decent card into a prebuilt machine, don't rely on a stock power supply.
Your username and this post go quite well together.
