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.

    I enjoy a good bit of linux. Heard that amd stuff usually plays nicer with it although I don’t know enough to consider it a fact.

    It’s true that AMD GPUs play nicer with Linux than Nvidia does, mainly because of the open-source and well integrated driver stack.

    My advice is usually to choose AMD graphics (or maybe Intel if your games allow it) for new purchases, but to keep using any Nvidia card you already have until it’s time to replace it (with AMD).
