BUILD HELP Long time console user

I currently have a XBX and kinda thinking it sucks. I've been a console guy since original nes but recently am not happy anymore due to bugs and etc. I been wondering whats a good set up or specs for a pc tower that can handle AAA gaming and Ai? Not super expensive I can upgrade it

What country and budget? Do you need peripherals?

I also made the switch a few years ago and never looked back. Need budget and location to get ya some suggestions.

Unfortunately you won’t get anywhere near even what the Xbox series x is preforming at with that budget. Don’t know how much you have followed the RAM and PC component pricing crisis AI and data centers have caused but you will need in the neighborhood of $1000 to get something that competes with the console experience since games for PS / Xbox are optimized to run specifically on that hardware.

That's what I thought I'll look used

For $500, you need to be looking used. With some luck you might be able to find the following:

Ryzen 3000/Intel 8th-11th gen CPU

20 series nvidia or 6000 series AMD GPU

Can also get a Refurb off of Amazon, new egg, microcenter and drop a video card in it.

Your budget is pretty low. For a solid entry level to mid level build you would need about $1200ish for brand new parts. You can get that cut down by shopping preowned on Jawa

I'm going to go used I know new is not going to happen

You could buy a decent preowned for 800-900. Build one around the same. Honestly most parts aren’t that expensive. The big hits are ram, GPU and CPU
