What's the cheapest you can build a PC for that could run most games without a problem? I'm not saying best graphics, just like, high quality and at least 60fps? I have zero idea on prices for gaming PC's and just assume it always comes to at least a few grand if you want anything that can last a bit and not die trying to run a new game.

There is a reddit about that Moony where people ask these questions if your curious and on one else has an answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/

I think the biggest problem is due to shortages right now it might be a bit hard to procure every component, but I don't know for sure.

On that note, I guess not everything uses the chips that are currently short for the new graphic cards and consoles? I saw that Sony is planning to produce more PS4's because they can't make enough PS5's yet I'd have assumed that the shortage would affect both. Unsure

Secretly I don't really know much about the shortage itself all I know is it happening and even before COVID there were graphic cards being bought up and used for cryptomining. Gasp There are also everyone favorite people right next to the crypto people the scalpers! They really are doing you and yours a favor Moony without you how would you know for sure you'd be able to buy the graphic card of your dreams? All they ask is just a small mark up to give you the best of their stock...truly such heartfelt and caring individuals that we all should strive to be! Sigh

PS: Do you ever feel like people just invent middle person roles just to extract money for stupid reasons? Errm I really don't need the middle person to be part of the transactions that goes for NFTs, Scalpers, or whatever other bullshit that insert itself into a market. Doh

actually, the shortage is messing up way more than gaming. these chips are used in a variety of things like cars. obviously, as gamers, we are concerned about GPUs but it's actually causing a much bigger economic impact than gaming.

Posted this in another thread back when I bought it, but I'll post it here again:

CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900X 3.7GHz [4.8GHz Turbo] 12 Cores/ 24 Threads 70MB Total Cache 105W Processor
HDD: 1TB SAMSUNG 980 PRO (PCIe Gen4) NVMe M.2 SSD - Seq R/W: Up to 7000/5000 MB/s, Rnd R/W up to 1000/1000k
MEMORY: 32GB (16GBx2) DDR4/3200MHz Dual Channel Memory
VIDEO: GeForce RTX™ 3080 10GB GDDR6X (Ampere)

How am I enjoying it so far? I bought Monster Hunter Rise yesterday and immediately turned all graphics on the highest setting and put the framerate to "unlimited" and it was smooth as melted butter. The Switch version of Rise ran like using a butter knife to cut a rock in half.

I absolutely love it.

Dare I ask how much that cost you? lol

It cost me a smidge over $3,000 for it.

I haven't tried any extremely graphic intensive games yet, but I'm running Monster Hunter Rise on all of the highest graphics settings and "unlimited FPS" selected and it runs smooth as butter with zero stuttering or freezing.

Coolness. I'd love an RTX card, but prices are just too high. Might settle for a 1080Ti at some point. Smile
