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.

Nothing is wrong with water cooling! All I meant was, I've never built with it so that would be something I'd have to learn and would create a higher barrier to building.

Most PC gamers will use Windows. I wouldn't.

You could not pay me to use windows lmao

For my use case I won't go with water cooling based on the various responses I've gotten.
