I want to escape consoles and finally build a gaming pc but I’ve seen the prices…

Everything is really overwhelming for me and I have no clue what I should go for and everyone is giving me differing answers so I ask you.

Is building a PC ACTUALLY cheaper than buying one?

What specs would I even need? All I wanna do is play arc raiders comfortably at high settings and play heavily modded Garry’s mod.

jfc I just went on there to build the same machine I have sitting on my desk from a year and a half or so ago and it would be $5.5k if I built it again today

Talk about timing the market…
