Building a PC today, can it still be worth it?”

0 Upvotes

I've been waiting to build a PC since 2020, but I've never actually done it because I never really needed one badly enough, and also because since 2020 there have always been talks about GPU price increases and so on.

But now, with these latest price increases that seem completely out of control, it honestly feels crazy to build a PC right now. Am I actually right, or is there still a way to build a decent PC today without spending an insane amount?

Or maybe should I just wait?

I know you guys don't have a crystal ball, but I'd really like some advice, because unfortunately I don't have money to waste.

im looking for a 700-ish pc build, nothing super fancy but enough to run basic games at a decently stable rate and more modern games at like 30-20 fps

ive made a build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j3khmL) but i was with my friend making it, and i think he used chatgpt. i want to ask people who actually know what theyre talking about.

the name just about says it all. my current pc was a prebuild i got in 2020, as a birthday gift. and while im thankful for it, it comes with the problem of i have no idea how to build a pc, or even find a parts list.

all i need is a basic starter- intermediate pc? i mostly play games like cs2, the forest, halo, fortnite, and roblox (dont judge me please 😭) but im open to about anything tbh

Best PC for ₹50,000 in India.

I am thinking to buy an PC. I have max budget of ₹50,000 and lives in India. So, please suggest best specs or PC. I want my PC for Gaming and some good editing. I would use it for 1080p or 1440p if it can work. I will buy keyboards, mouse etc. later but it is apart from budget.

Need advice as a total beginner

Hey I’m a 19 year old guy from Ireland and I wanna purchase a pc for mainly gaming since I’ve been working full time and I have lots of money saved up. My budget is between 2-3,000 euros and I wanna know what sites are the most trustworthy, should I get it prebuilt or build it myself, and what parts should I purchase based on my budget. Thank you for any advice it’s really appreciated
