#i would highly recommend it if you're at all prone to outages (we're pretty sure the frequency of them helped kill my old computer)

If you don't mind me asking what are the specs for your gaming pc? I'm interested in building my own pc for the same general purpose, and while none of the games I would be playing are as demanding as Genshin Impact, it would be nice to learn from other builds.

I'll be honest, I don't know what parts of it are actually important (when I say "built" I mean "a more knowledgeable friend walked me through picking everything out on PCPartPicker, then later walked me through putting the pieces together"), but the actual parts picked were:

Intel Core i7-10700F 2.9 GHz 8-Core Processor

Asus TUF GAMING H570-PRO WIFI ATX LGA1200 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-2400 CL14 Memory

Samsung 860 Evo 4 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive

EVGA XC BLACK GAMING GeForce RTX 3060 12GB 12 GB Video Card

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G6 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

PCPartPicker was super helpful for me, though I'd recommend double-checking their compatibility claims--they originally said that a different set of memory sticks would work in this setup, and then I started having crashes and found out that it was because they weren't actually on Asus' approved list to pair with that motherboard. Adding in the SSD, which I bought later, and without the cost of the case or monitor factored in, it ran me about $1800 total? But that was 2022 prices, so I don't know if it would be the same today.

This one runs Genshin Impact on its highest video settings, and nominally runs Baldur's Gate 3 on its highest as well, though I turned that down to medium because it was running extremely hot. (I did stick with air cooling because I was nervous about managing liquid cooling, but that might well have made it handle that better.) Those are my most graphically demanding games, so that's my benchmark! I'm less able to tell which are the most demanding on the CPU, but I play a lot of city-builders and it's dealt fine with all of them even when I go for the biggest maps, so it is... better than my old PC in that regard.
