Just get a Linux distro and throw some PC parts together and you'll be better off with that then W11 or shitbox.

DDR3 should still be fairly ok for a starter PC.

Plenty of good old games run very well on Linux and older hardware.

    My gaming machine is still using DDR3. Never really saw a reason to upgrade, games mostly became more demanding in the graphics-sector, even the first-gen i5 is doing reasonably well with most games, even newer ones. And if not, I blame badly optimized games.

    RAM speed usually is the last thing you have to worry about in games.
