It can get you a PC, but you honestly might as well get a PS5 or Xbox if you're working with that budget

LOOOOOOL

May as well just get a PS5 or XSX if you can only afford to spend $500.

in 2012 maybe. after crypto faggotry? no way

You're a smart lad. Work some more and buy yourself a good pc.

yeah, if you can find a used cpu, motherboard, and ram combo for like $200, then hunt for a gpu with the leftover $300. you could have something that does 1080p at medium settings.

It can get you a good CPU. But you'll need more parts than that.

only with second hand parts
something like 960/970 and i5
should work ok 1080p 60fps on medium for pretty much every pre 2020 title

You might be able to build something potentially okay with one of those Ryzen G processors and if you're willing to hit up ebay for a hard drive and a case
Unironically skip the GPU

That can't get you a good GPU.

You could get a steam deck which seems decent

Entry tier gpus are a retarded investment these days anyway unless you gimp yourself with intel.

>mac
Don't do this to yourself
ever

Is Intel an absolute no-go?

not really anything other than a steam deck.

times that by ten then yes

I'd strongly recommend against it if you are on a really tight budget.

With the crazy inflation that's been happening since the pandemic? No lol.

retard take
you'd be better off with the pc, then pirate older games than buying a ps5 and having no budget for newer, shitty moviegames

What's a sensible budget for a fairly decent gaming rig in 2022?

Define fairly decent

Being able to run most games without any trouble on medium settings? I guess that's my definition of it.

You good with 720-900p with AA to reduce chunkyness?
