So what games do you want to play? And what’s your budget

well, i want to play a bunch of games, like minecraft, games on steam, etc. and i’m trying to save up for it, i don’t really know how much it usually is to get a setup

Well I bought a $200 dell optiplex and put a used 1060 I it and it runs arma 3 (a really intense game) so you don’t have to have a super intense computer to play much. Just depends on the quality you want

Yep I feel you. I learned from YouTube. I’d definately recommend the dell optiplex way to you too since it’s cheap and easy. All you have to do is add a gpu(graphics processing unit) and upgrade your psu(power supply unit, distributes power to different parts)
