I just bought my first gaming pc today. I’m pretty sure it’s pretty good. As a 46yr old, lifelong console gamer (PS5 currently), what single player game should I hook up and play first?

Doom 2
RDR2
Congratulations, all of them. Coming from a 51 years young , lifetime gamer, who bought his first gaming pc last may!
Make sure XMP is enabled and other BIOS settings that AlienWare probably didn’t correctly setup
Also if you see your temps above like 85-90 (if it even has temp monitoring displays/software out the box) then you probably need to figure that out too
Total War Series.
Get those RTS games running that u never had a chance to play on consoles
Not the brand everyone loves but welcome to PCMasterRace. Give cyberpunk 2077 a shot!
Cyberpunk 2077
Red Dead Redemption 2 if you like Westerns. Ghost of Tshushima is the current hotness if you like Samurai/Ninja stuff
CP2077 on max settings with RT will show you the largest difference between PS5 and PC. It’ll absolutely blow your mind if you’ve only ever played it on console.
Runner ups if that’s not your jam – Witcher 3 or RDR2. Witcher 3 received a legitimate next-gen upgrade on PC last year and the latter has always looked incredible. Happy gaming! Enjoy the new PC!
Since you’re coming from PS5, I’d recommend downloading the Xbox app and getting Gamepass for $10. It’s the Netflix of games by Microsoft on PC.
Install steam and find something that interests you. And remember that you can connect your ps5 controller to the PC. Some games are better with mouse+keyboard but others are better on a controller

Borderlands series. So good!
You have a lot of options. Are you a fan of the god of war series? They have some great single player games. I like assassins creed as well. Also don’t forget that your pc is powerful and you can emulate a lot of the old games you used to play from ps3,wii, or xbox.
Super solid Pc you got there. Give Cyberpunk a run, with those specs you should be able to hit 60fps 4k max settings pretty easily with frame generation and DLSS.
why don’t they ever have deals on PCs with 4080’s.They used to with the 3080’s a couple years ago
Baldurs Gate 3
Ghost of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077 are solid choices.
GTA VI
Metro Exodus and the prior 2 Metro games
Congratulations, man! Cyberpunk would be my first suggestion.
Oh boy
I would get RDR2 as your first stop for sure, amazing game
Heads up, you may get divebombed by PCMR for your brand choice
It’s time to play Rimworld!
Doom Eternal
Congratulations. Other than game pass that was mentioned, I’d also sign up and get a Steam account. You can find a vast amount of games to try or buy.
Rdr2
Grand Theft Auto
Skyrim
