I just quickly put together this for $1500.  You could definitely go cheaper on a lot of the parts.  I just kind of picked the first thing looked fine in the category.

If you wait a few months the new 2080/70 rtx video cards will probably come down in prices a little, but they're not that much better for the price they're at now.

That'll do it for the next few years 1080@60fps. May not be able to run max settings on all games if graphics get better and better in 2-3 years but you can step down one setting and it should run them

Or just bump up to a newer video card and overclock the processor.  I got an extra 20-30 fps on battlefield 1 just by overclocking the processor.  Granted that's a really processor heavy game.

If you want to go to 1440 or 4k, things get a lot more expensive and in my opinion it's not really worth it with a typical sized monitor.  One thing that is worth it is a 144hz monitor if you have extra cash to burn on it and a nicer video card.

The other thing for you all to keep in mind is a PC on medium settings at 60fps is going to look better than a console running the same game.
