Pc building (lemmy.world)

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 was looking at the steam machine but I've seen prebuilts with better specs than it. It's not the 1st option on my list but I'm keeping an eye on it!

Hey, if you see a good deal and have the money, take it! The whole market is pretty uncertain right now.
