Pc building (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 day ago by Glurk@lemmy.world to c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

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.

It's a great channel for budget and older tech because it's easy to overlook PC parts and what they are still capable of.

PC gamers can be quite obsessive of the newest tech and their FPS so I love channel like this that keep it real.
