I have had playstation for a while, but aside from Petz, Rollercoaster tycoon, and the sims <4 I never had a pc that could handle games.

I was gifted a used custom gaming PC cuz the owner was getting a new one! I have an $80 steam gift card I'd love to spend on multiple pop culture classic games I've missed out on and can only enjoy on PC/Xbox.. my favorite are 3rd person rpg with exploration as an important element in learning about the lore/story. Some sort of reward for exploring thar isn't loot.

Games I loved

Control
Horizon zero dawn
Persona 5/royal Those three are S tier life changing, think about forever types
Bishop trilogy (2 is best @me bro)
P5 strikers
Persona 4 golden
Final fantasy, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15
Catherine Full Body
Alan Wake
Ni no Kuni2
The forgotten city
Until dawn
A plague tale 1 innocence
TLOU1
Uncharted 1-3
Portal 1 & 2

Meh

life is strange 1
TLOU2
Nier automata (ikr, wtf? )

Did not finish/Gave up for lack of interest

Mass effect 1 (and thus none of the sequels)
Little nightmares
Fallout 4
Cyberpunk 2077 and not for glitch reasons
Ghostwire

So far the only game I'm sure of is the fable series but I dont even know what version to get? It often gets confusing for older games for a newbie

Computer details: Intel i9, 32gb ram, and Nvidia GeForce rtx 2070

Regarding Fable, get the original first (fable anniversary on steam). Since you're big on JRPGs, you might want to check out Ys, Trails and FATE series. You will definitely want to check out Metaphor ReFantazio

You can also experiment some of the "only on PC" or "best on PC" games like Cities Skylines or Planet Coaster (try the 1st game for both) - neither has an available demo, but will definitely run on your computer. Wait for a sale, shouldn't take too long. Factorio, on the other hand, has a demo that lets you experiment and get a good feel of what to expect of the rest of the game. If you'd like something comparatively simpler and better looking, try Satisfactory instead (no demo)

On the RTS front, you can actually play the first Starcraft 2 campaign for free, though you need Battle.Net instead of Steam. That game can be a good introduction to the genre and, if you enjoy it, I can point out some other games in the same vein.

A personal recommendation of mine is Palworld. I like the gameplay loop.

Also, please learn to use commas.
