Crucial DDR4 8GB 3000MHz XPG Z1 memory. MSI B350 Motherboard (AM4, 2xDDR4 slots, PCI-Ex16, 2xPCI-Ex1, USB 3.1, USB 2.0, 4xSATA III, M.2, Raid support) Maybe an Intel Core i3-6100 would do the trick. I guess. Maybe consider the Corsair CX450 if you need a reliable 450W power supply. It seems like a decent enough option for certain builds. The ZAL-R1 is a Corsair Mid Tower Case.

Or you could just swap it out for this graphics card if that one's a bit much.
I saw this listing for an EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 online. It looks like a decent enough deal if you're looking to grab a card for a budget build, I guess.
That voltage looks way too high if you're planning on pushing any serious overclocking. It seems like you might have ended up with a board running an older BIOS version, which makes the voltage act a bit erratic. Maybe the LLC setting is cranked up too high, causing the board to overvolt.
From what I can find online, it should hover around 1.35V when using XFR—nothing much higher than that.
It shouldn't be too hard to troubleshoot this... just hop into the BIOS, go to Voltage Configuration, set the CPU Voltage to an Offset of -100mV, and run a quick stress test. If that option is available, you could also try setting the Load Lin Calibration (LLC) to its lowest value (on an ASRock board, that’s usually the highest number, maybe 3 or 5).
...or you could just flash the BIOS to the latest version first and see if that fixes everything on its own.😉
The last possibility is that it's just reading the voltage incorrectly, though I wouldn't bet on it. Maybe check it again using HWInfo.
I'd say the monitor is definitely worth $67, though the GPU might be a bit low at $17 (but maybe you could keep $100 as a starting point), and the case is probably just a tiny bit $83.
The i3 4360 is roughly on par with a G4560... and honestly, the GTX 950 feels a bit slower than an RX 560. You might want to look into a bottleneck. They'd probably see more benefit from a better GPU, but the game itself is stuttering just because that's how it is right now. Even an 8700K struggles with it, just slightly less so. As for the PC slowing down for a few minutes after closing the game, I guess that’s a separate issue entirely.
I had an iPhone 15 for about six years before letting it go three weeks ago... I definitely put in some serious hours on Zombie mode and Halo 3, so it was a pretty solid 😬
Let's lay down some solid groundwork for future upgrades... I doubt this setup will actually last five years if someone's trying to run heavy, demanding titles by then. But... I guess you could swap out the CPU, GPU, and RAM in about three years to squeeze a few more years of life out of it.
