Back to school budget gaming PCs
While you might have thought that I abandoned this place, I haven't, it's just that the part prices are getting higher and higher on a pretty much weekly basis, and some components, such as GPUs and RAM, are shooting up in price due to limited stock and overall shortage
But no worries, I can still make pretty good budget builds for light to moderate gaming.
I'm going to do a little twist, I'm going to give nicknames to builds, not just "Budget build" or "Content creation monster".
