Affordable pc’s?

[Abass76]

I’m thinking of getting a pc but wouldn’t know where to start as far as picking one out. I’ve been a console guy since way back when lol. I wanna get one because of modding options are way more better than on a console. Need y’all’s input!!! I have wireless WiFi, already have a iMac, something I can use with my smart TV.

that's a loaded question. There are plenty of options.
-do you plan on becoming more of a pc gamer than a console?
-what else do you plan on doing with your pc?
-do you prefer amd vs intel?

for em Id say:
minimum specs for a decent pc nowadays
make sure it has at least 16 gbs of ram. Id personally get one with at least 32.
cpu Id get something with at least 8 cores. i7 or better

gpu 8gbs or better. do not get a computer that has a gpu that is 6gbs or less.

also with the graphics card make sure it can do ray tracing.


Id also wait a few months computers are overpriced right now because of a lack of components.

I build my pc's but Im waiting to build my new onw because the prices are ridiculous.

I honestly would wait until we know if 2k22 will come out as next-gen version on PC, too, so you know what the system requirements look like.


Besides what he states sounds good. Instead of an Intel CPU I would recommend an AMD Ryzen though.
I would recommend going for 32 GB of RAM. It's relatively cheap nowadays and there are already games who "consume" around 16 GB of RAM if they have the chance to.
GPU: Right now honestly I wouldnt buy any. They are way too overpriced because of a combination of production bottlenecks and cryptomining.

That's what I'm doing...waiting til we see the specs for 2K22. I got screwed this year cause of the AVX needed to run the game. Apparently my PC didn't have it. So building a new one off of the specs I see for hopefully a "next gen" version for PC.

So I spoke with Best Buy they recommended this one

No more than $1000 not looking for the bells and whistles but will get the job done.
