not entirely related but I guarantee you’d have more fun playing some cheap indie game with your close friends on a $800 PC

Ngl your comment made me look up what I could get for ab. $800
RTX 4060 302.15€
Ryzen 5 4500 67.45€
Decent AM4 mainboard 57.07€
Decent CPU air cooler 21.07€
Thermal paste 3.01€
16 GB DDR4 RAM 35.20€
Semi-Modular 600W PSU 75.07€
500GB M.2 NVMe SSD 34.58€
2TB HDD 35.20€
Case 85.61€
Wifi card 25.10€
PC building tutorial: free on YT or just follow the instructions of your case and mainboard…
Software not included so people can look up what Windows officially charges them for showing them ads
That makes 741.51€ or $817.57 for a pretty damn good custom pc… And it could be way less if you went for 2nd hand parts / better deals
I would rather build it myself than buying a cheap prebuilt one from a no name bc a friend of mine tried that and got scammed and realized way too late sadly

That’s not a bad build, really. Although I can’t imagine the air cooler will be necessary for a 4500, much rather use the stock and upgrade to 32gb RAM. My stock 2000 series Wraith cooler has done me well in 40c summers.

Good call, you wouldn’t need the cooler. Wasn’t sure if the CPU comes packaged with one but apparently it does.
Tbh if I wanted to spend a bit more I personally would go for a 4TB HDD too instead of 2TB and maybe a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD alongside the 32GB RAM
I made a build that would have included all of that alongside a Ryzen 7 5800X but that build would have been around 1000$ so quite a stretch from the 800$ mark.
(Tbh it would still fair better than the PS5 Pro if you were to purchase PS+ Essential for more than 3 years - with Extra and Premium it’s even worse and since PC games are usually cheaper the free games & discounts don’t really seal the deal for me)

Free games are also available at PCs (Epic Store every week, FOSS games like 0ad, and sailing the high seas).
