my nephews just built low-mid end gaming PCs and both their setups came up around $1500, no idea where you are getting this $700 figure for in 2025/26. Their low/mid CPU and GPU alone was well over $500.

    That doesn't sound low-mid to us, but maybe we're Just Poor™. Our CPU was like $100 and our GPU was like $250, used (only used part in the whole build). All told, maybe $600? It's not a very fancy computer. It'd certainly cost WAY more now though, with the explosion of prices.

    Totally! Plays pretty much everything we throw at it, except for one not-really-optimized indie UE5 game that's borderline (which is probably partially the game's fault, they improved optimization quite a bit since launch and it runs significantly better now but still not stellar, 30fps at most, but it's playable; everything else runs just fine, generally solidly 60+).
