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.

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.

    I haven't heard anything bad about it. Maybe someone will @ me with some good info.

    But yeah, I wouldn't choose to use Windows... but I am paid to use it and I don't complain. But in my home? Nah, best I can do is put Outlook on my iPhone. Not a fan of that but I do need to be reachable. (Better Outlook than WhatsApp or anything else by Meta. But not by much.)
