Looks like a decent gaming setup. You'll want a better power supply though. A 600W is the minimum recommendation for a system with a 3060 GPU. If you want to future proof it, you should probably go a little higher than the suggested bare minimum. Don't go small on the case.
As for monitors, it all depends on how much you have to spend. For current gaming, a good average monitor will be at least 1440p(2K) resolution and 120-144Hz refresh rate. Get the size you can afford.

Fish nailed everything. Just a bit of ancillary advice: since he's an FPS gamer first he shouldn't buy anything bigger than a 32 inch monitor so he can see his HUD without having to move his focus away from the reticle. He should probably also look into monitor arms if he eventually wants a duel screen set up. One for the game he's playing and one for his spotify, discord, twitch, etc. Don't cheap put on the MKB and invest in wire management so he doesn't have a rats nest to deal with later

He's got a small crappy monitor that he uses now that he is thinking about using as a 2nd monitor. Would that be good enough to use for twitch, etc? MKB...Is that the mouse and keyboard? He has a nice mouse, but just has a cheap keyboard. I hadn't really thought about that, but he probably has. I'll talk to him about it. |

I wouldn't go with an old style hard drive even for game storage. Go with an old style ssd little more pricey but way better.
As far as power supply I'll never use anything less then a corsair gold rated and one that is overkill for power consumption. These are just my opinions and I'm definitely no expert just been pc gaming for a decade and have built 4 of them. |

Also keep in mind that there's currently an insane demand for graphics cards like the 3060 Ti he wants. Supplies are currently nonexistent. Currently newegg has 0 available 30X0 cards, everything is out of stock. It may be a month or 2 before that will be available. Temper his expectations, it's a lousy time to buy a nice GPU.

SanDisk - Ultra 1.024 TB Internal SATA Solid State Drive Could we just pull it out and install it in the new computer, instead of the WD hard drive on the list? |
