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'm not sure if this is still true, but in the very recent past you could find better deals on DDR5 RAM when buying it in a bundle with a CPU. A lot of stores did this as a way to try to prevent scalping.
