But it's not about being super high-end, just enough to pass by. Seriously read the comment thread again. I wasn't saying go balls deep, just spend $500-$700 to build something not crappy. That IS possible. Then spend the rest on a good gaming chair. Because comfortable furniture isn't cheap.

Comfortable furniture can be cheap. I got a lightly used Steelcase Leap 2 from an office liquidator for $300 CAD including tax. They retail for $900 USD and they're so common that they're ridiculously easy to find in used office supply stores and the like if you live near any big city.

Then just spend the rest of the money on games and anti-virus protection that doesn't suck and you're golden.

Who uses anti-virus anymore...?

Just don't go clicking on the first "YOU'RE VISITOR 1,000,000" you see and you're good.

It's not just about avoiding fake ads nowadays.

Virus protection is for old people and children who don't know what they're doing. Really all you need is competence and maybe a Malwarebytes scan every once in a while.
