my nephews just built low-mid end gaming PCs and both their setups came up around $1500, no idea where you are getting this $700 figure for in 2025/26. Their low/mid CPU and GPU alone was well over $500.
That doesn’t sound low-mid to us, but maybe we’re Just Poor™. Our CPU was like $100 and our GPU was like $250, used (only used part in the whole build). All told, maybe $600? It’s not a very fancy computer. It’d certainly cost WAY more now though, with the explosion of prices.

Can your PC game?
Definitely. It’ll run Stardew Valley and Rollercoaster Tycoon! I bet it’s even powerful enough to run Doom!
(Why is it that I spent way more than them on a gaming laptop in 2022 and I still mostly just play Stardew Valley?)
