Hardware updates are coming soon, so it might be wise to hold off. New components really bring the cost down for cases and PSUs to around $400—my budget was close to that. You could snag the RX580 used for about $100, which is totally feasible. This GPU has been available for over three years. PCPartPicker’s list includes: a 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i3-9100F for $74.89, a 16GB DDR4 memory pack for $29.49, an ADATA 240GB SSD for $29.99, and a Radeon RX 580 graphics card for $164.99. Storage options are also listed. Overall, the total comes to about $461.83, with all prices covering shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts.
It isn't a good time because of upcoming challenges. New parts are expected soon.
New components and due to shipping restrictions, many items cost more than expected, particularly PSUs, motherboards, and GPUs.
Components are either costly or unavailable since PPE receives shipping priority over PC parts.
