    I’m struggling to even find a PC that expensive.

      What the hell, Boots used to sell PCs? Or is that a fricky coincidence that there’s a PC store somewhere with the same name and logo as a popular pharmacy?

  Well for a start that’s the PS5 Pro and absolutely nobody is buying that.

  That would be like me saying you can’t make a gaming PC without a 5090.

  Because the equivalent graphics card is about $450, and you still need to buy a CPU, storage, RAM, PSU, and case. And it’s only the up-front cost that’s cheaper.

    Premade desktops with a good enough you can still be found for shit 1200$ / 1000€.

    And the savings from buying on Steam/GoG instead will probably make up the difference.

    And you get a full PC as well

      That’s why I said it was the up-front cost that’s cheaper. This is how it’s been for a long, long time now.
