Gift suggestions for buying PC hardware in America
There are many excuses to upgrade a machine of yours for this holiday season. Gaming is one very good reason. The gift of powerful PC hardware would be much appreciated when games are becoming more and more demanding of PC specifications. Especially the CPU and RAM.
Buy a huge SSD and have a lot of space for all your game files.

A 2 terabyte SSD would be a very good addition to any gaming PC, this would provide faster storage and retrieval of game data to allow faster gaming and far less stutter.
A lot of RAM is also a good addition, this would help reduce gaming stutter when running a very data-intensive gaming application.
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-32GVK.

2x 16GiB RAM modules is a good addition to your machine, this faster RAM would allow games to run faster. A game like Arma 3 likes faster RAM. As well as a lot of it.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X – Ryzen 5 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 65W Desktop Processor – 100-100000065BOX
A faster Ryzen CPU is a good way to speed up a single-core game like Arma 3.

This CPU has 6 cores, but each core is very fast and this is good for single-core game engines, as it will still help the performance.
Of course, a fast GPU card is also a good upgrade, this will help to run modern games, not all games utilise it to 100%, but it will still help.

A very stylish computer case is another very nice gift idea.
I recommend this one.
