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.

Oh, yeah I'll probably roll with air cooling then. I don't wanna do all that.

Lowkey don't know if there's even a microcenter here but I'll check them out if I can manage it :)
