What should be the budget for a decent gaming PC ?

[Chris Blackwing]

Hey, was looking to build a decent gaming PC ? My budget is 400-500 is that good ? I was looking for something with integrated vega gpus

completely depends on the person and their income. 500 might be fine for you but it wouldn't suit everyone.

 

Personally $500 would be too low, for me.

You can definitely get a decent gaming rig for $500, but it depends on pricing and what parts you get. At $500, I would turn to the used market for a fair few parts.

That depends on your expectations.

What games do you play, at which resolution and refresh rate and how high do you want to crank the settings?

Nevertheless, for $ 500 you can definitely have a decent setup.

Do you also need peripherals like monitor, headset, keyboard etc?

 

Does OS have to be included?

R3 2200G + fast memory cheap as you can get it, save the rest for a future GPU.

A legit OS (retail version and no OEM) would be already one fifth of your $ 500 budget. So if the operating system should be included in the price, then I would definitely look on the used market for parts. However, if it’s not, and you don’t have high expectations, then you already can get something nice for $ 500.

are you seriously recomending a Gaming pc without even a budget GPU streetguru? That seems like a big oversight
