It depends on what games you like.

One game that I recommend to anyone is Firewatch. It's a beautiful, linear story game with easy to understand mechanics. And it only lasts a few hours, so it's a small time investment.

I can also recommend Outer Wilds. It's a puzzle story game. It gives you a lot of freedom, with the downside that it's somewhat easier to get stuck. For this game you should buy a gamepad.

If you like single player shooters, I recommend Half-Life 2.

Hope this helps!

PS. As for peripherals, a keyboard+mouse should be plenty. Some vehicle driven games require a gamepad to play comfortably.

As for a GPU, the games I mentioned here will run on anything semi-modern. No need to buy something brand new.

Thanks for the reco.

Anything that requires mouse is out. I have a RSI on my wrist, and anytime i use the scroll wheel it flares up.

I am ready to buy a gamepad. I guess I will need to explore which one I should buy.

Outer wilds looks interesting. Something I will explore one of these weekends.

Outer Wilds is amazing if you like puzzles and/or sci fi.

PC games generally assume you have an Xbox controller. I'm not sure about Linux compatibility but based on a quick search it should work fine.
