I’m looking to dive into PC gaming and have my eye on a couple of gaming PCs. I’m aiming for something under $1,000 to start. Here are the links or any other suggestions you haveSmile. I plan to play a lot of games and also want to document everything for YouTube. Thanks!

the first device isn't a gaming rig but an external GPU dock designed for use with a laptop. the second model features a very basic CPU, which likely wouldn't provide sufficient performance for recording during gaming sessions.

you prefer prebuilding because there are valid reasons, and i just wanted to understand yours better.

Creating it yourself would save money, but I’m not sure. Just to avoid getting involved, I guess.

Creating one is straightforward once you understand the steps. I assembled my first one in December, and it was enjoyable when I turned on the power supply and pressed the button, causing my PC to light up.

Don't try to assemble it yourself. Spend a day watching YouTube tutorials to understand the process, then visit the forum to find affordable options that fit your budget. Purchase and install the parts as needed.

Have you explored computer assembly? Watching someone construct a basic PC often signals the effort involved. It may take some time, but building it yourself could save you money—like avoiding a $100 purchase to invest in a better CPU. Members here also share detailed part lists that maximize performance for the price. Manufacturers sometimes choose subpar components to appeal to users, opting for cheaper parts in less critical areas such as the motherboard instead of skimping on essentials. For instance, here’s a breakdown of each component’s cost: PCPartPicker part list with price details for an Intel Pentium G4560 3.5GHz CPU ($72), an Asus PRIME B250M-A motherboard ($124), Corsair DDR4 memory ($85), Seagate 1TB drive ($64), an XFX Radeon RX 470 card ($269), an Aerocool case ($85), a Pure Power power supply ($99), and other accessories totaling $798. This would be more efficient if you consider your budget in Australian dollars, specify the games you plan to run, and list any extra tasks like editing or recording.
