I want to escape consoles and finally build a gaming pc but I’ve seen the prices…
Everything is really overwhelming for me and I have no clue what I should go for and everyone is giving me differing answers so I ask you.
Is building a PC ACTUALLY cheaper than buying one?
What specs would I even need? All I wanna do is play arc raiders comfortably at high settings and play heavily modded Garry’s mod.
I agree with this. Pick one of the build templates on PC part picker that fit your budget, and then tweak it here and there for specific things you’re looking for. That said, I have seen pre built for sale at Costco or on eBay that are ‘worth it’ for the RAM alone. Building a PC is fun as hell. Once you’ve done it, you know how to do it, where everything goes and how it works together, making future inevitable work on it so much more intuitive.
