Hardware upgrade appraisal

[jdr37 4]

I will be setting up a very low cost system with the primary goal of getting max bang for my buck when flying XP 11. Likely will buy used/rebuilt desktop with the cpu as primary consideration then will add RAM and GPU card as cost allows. In that there are so many GPUs on the market (well over 150 i3, i5 and i7 with 3.0 Mhz or better) I would like to get some "expert" opinions on the combination(s) I am considering. Should this thread be posted on the "general" or tips and tricks".

Thanks'

Something like a fast (>3.5 GHz) i5, at least 16 GB of fast (2800 MHz+) RAM, at least a GTX1060 and a SSD with at least 512 GB should get you going.
