I need updated parts recommendations.
 CASE- ATX should I get one with a bottom mount for my psu?

VIDEO CARD- around $250. I know some older cards can be better or just as good as newer ones. I want to play WoW on high or ultra settings. I want to be able to play Far Cry, Ark Survival and others.

SSD- 2T fast loading $130 or less.

Router/Modem- I have fiber. Considering wifi 6 or 6E.

Looking at Black Friday sales to buy.
Thanks for the help once again.
 
Case - I really haven't noticed a difference. Any opinion on style?

VC - I'm out of date, I'll admit.

SSD - At $130, for 2T, you're getting into the highish end, probably won't notice too much difference, but Newegg has the 2TB WD Black NVMe for $125.

Roter/Modem - Are you looking for just a router that takes in a copper feed from a fiber modem, or a router/modem bundle?

You will be looking in the used market for that $250 range. You may be able to find a 3070 in that range or if you're lucky around 3080 for $300.

Most new cases have the power supply on the bottom. Id focus on one that checks boxes of what you want for features and is easy to work in.

I know I don't want a white case. RGB is nice but not a necessity. Just wanted a decent brand. Not too expensive. The one I have doesn't have is from 09 and doesn't have the connections I need for my motherboard. I need more room.
I had this one. It has served me very well. Plain and simple. https://www.newegg.com/black-with-b...-series-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811208030?tpk=1
I thought I had to have router / modem.
I saw the SN 850x for $133 with heat sink. I was considering that I read the 980 Pro had issues.
 
Anyone know if this video card is any good and if it's good with my cpu?
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4060 Gaming OC 8G Graphics Card, 3X WINDFORCE Fans, 8GB 128-bit GDDR6

Your cpu won't hold that video card back. That video card is good for 1080p gaming at 60hz/fps but nit much more.
 
Intel ARC B580 can be a better option, and I see it costs about the same. I'm not sure about drivers, and it was just released, so it's better to wait for some reviews.

There are also some new old stock of RX 6700XTs and 6800XTs in that price range, but yeah used 4060TI or 3080/3070 can be in that range as well.
