I have almost built my first gaming pc and I want to play games on it but I am very new in gaming so I have some questions.
How do I buy games?
what will I actually buy? a game CD? just the activation code and download the game?
also, there are games being sold at different prices on different websites. is there a standard website to buy games? should I be worried about getting a fake or pirated copy?
Minecraft for example, its about $27 on minecraft's website
https://minecraft.net/en-us/store/
about $26 on amazon.in (amazon India)
https://www.amazon.in/Mojang-Minecraft-PC-Code/dp/B019XUCJGK?tag=googinhydr18418-21&tag=googinkenshoo-21&ascsubtag=892b7534-80eb-458e-9aec-870d1a4df6bc
but less than $3 on flipkart.com??

is the third one even real?
I know about Steam. if I buy a game outside of steam, will I be able to play it on steam?
what else should I know about as a new gamer?
a little about me, I used to play some very low end pirated games on a very old pc (pentium dual core, integrated graphics). I know nothing about consoles AT ALL. I am very familiar with computers and tech stuff just not gaming.
my new built runs on i7 8700k and using integrated graphics for now cos I ran out of budget. I am getting a 1080 within a month. just 1080p gaming so hardware is no issue.
