Hey, if you like the classic single-player, story-driven FPS style (mid-2000 stuff like Half Life, Bioshock, Far Cry, the 2006 version of Prey, F.E.A.R., S.T.A.L.K.E.R, etc) right now on Steam they have the 2017 version of Prey w/expansions for $8.00. You can order now while on sale and download it later.
If you like that sort of game (sci-fi, fairly open-world, with RPG elements ... it's kindof a Bioshock in space, but way better gunplay) I HIGHLY recommend it ... I played through the sucker 3 times, I've got like 200+ hours on the base game per Steam. It'll hum at maxed settings on your new machine. Probably my fave game of the last few years (though I mostly play single-player stuff). SOOOO worth $8.
If I were you I'd get an Xbox Controller (wired kind works great) ... almost every PC game supports them these days.
EDIT: actually there's a lot of good FPS-type stuff on Steam right now for <10 bucks ...
Doom 2016 (a blast if you like Doom style games)
Dishonored 2 (fantastic, creative, very cool game)
Wolfenstein - The New Order/The Old Blood (from 2013 or so, again, a blast if you like this sort of over the top shooter, it's like Doom but with high-tech Nazi's instead of monsters and a cool story, this is original game + pretty long expansion)
Get those 4 games for <$40 and you'll be set when you get your new machine for like MONTHS playing great AAA titles ... again, if you like SP FPS type games
