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 mean I just wanna build it and forget about it and maybe consider upgrading something in it. I usually play the same games and rarely branch out to new stuff. Water-cooling seems like a lot of stuff I don’t wanna deal with lmao. I don’t plan on overclocking or whatever. Regarding windows Id use it if I got paid to aswell-- but I’m not and I’m pretty sure you still have to pay to use windows (which is sad because it’s a very sad operating system.) Really excited to see epic games launcher moving to Linux and respectively fortnite being brought to it. Love it or hate it fortnite is a popular game that a lot of people play it (including me) and it not being there is preventing people from switching. I know this isn’t related to the conversation but you reminded me of this and I need to tell someone about it. Unfortunately that someone is you. So sorry!
