My original plan was to start with Skyrim, but my PC enthusiast buddy warned me that I'll end up spending a few hundred hours in that game. He said I should experience more titles first.

Modding Skyrim was a big inspiration for building a PC. I played the 360 version, but when I read about the capabilities of the PC version, I lost interest.

Witcher 3

I'm big on playing games in order. I do own the Witcher 1 (it can't run on my current laptop), so maybe I'll start there.

The whole Witcher series is good but if you're gonna start with 1 do yourself a favor, get a movement speed mod for it and play it on easy mode.

Also get Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines.

I also recommend Black Watchmen, which is a really creepy ass game.

I assume the main character moves annoyingly slow?

That Vampire game looks good. As for Black Watchmen, that is super creepy with the websites and stuff made for the game.

I haven't played a strategy game since Rome: Total War back in the mid 2000s. Is it worth it, or can I find a strategy game that will take advantage of my new machine?

This was another game I played on 360 but lost interest in. I heard there was a place where the FPS bogged down. Hopefully this isn't an issue on the PC?

If you want a strategy game that will take advantage of your high-end graphics capabilities, I've heard Total War: Warhammer 1&2 are really good.

Also, I'd like a game where I can play with others. I've heard of Fortnite, Pubg, and Overwatch but I don't know much about them.

I love the competitive nature of online gaming, and will look into getting a headset to talk trash one day.

For a real answer though, I built my PC in January, and my most played game so far is Vermintide 2. It's not a competitive multiplayer game, but cooperative. It plays very similarly to the Left 4 Dead games, with a much larger focus on melee, much more depth in general, and also a hell of a lot more bugs and issues. And of course it takes place in the Warhammer universe, so you're killing hordes of ratmen and Chaos warriors instead of zombies.

I highly recommend this game, though the reviews might out you off. But for the price it's at right now, it's absolutely worth it.

Eh, there's just no fast travel or transportation options in Witcher 1 and then the maps are kind of bigger than they need to be.

Wait for Battlefield V to come out, that should be an interesting ride (if you want a competitive shooter). Rainbow Six Siege is also popular and the Counter-Strike series (all of them, except Condition Zero) is an enduring fun and competitive shooter.

Also if you haven't already, sign up for the newsletters from Fanatical and HumbleBundle, message TroutPaste to be added to his list, and if you have Amazon Prime make sure to link it to your Twitch account.

Oh also yeah, Rainbow Six Siege is a pretty nice looking FPS that's also my favorite actively played shooter on the market right now. There may be a sale on it this weekend because a new patch is dropping, so keep an eye out for that
