I just got back into Old School RuneScape for the first time since 2008ish, and I'm pretty sure playing on my laptop with its smaller screen is causing my headaches. I've been meaning to get a desktop for a while now, and this is as good of a time as any. My main requirements are a decent sized screen (shouldn't be a problem with a desktop I don't think) and the ability to install Windows 10 on it (ie there are drivers that will allow the hardware to work on Windows 10). My budget is $1000, but that's a soft limit.

I think PC parts picker is still out there.
Basic cases are pretty cheap, as are mid-range motherboards. I had a harder time than I expected finding a no-frills case, and ended up settling for one with glass, which I find completely unnecessary. A decent last-gen GPU isn't that expensive, especially after the cryptomining market started to shift towards dedicated hardware.
I went the other direction with mine, because my gaming rig is basically my entire entertainment budget, so I don't have any direct experience with lower-end hardware.
