"AI bubble" price hike since last year for some components like DDR5 RAM and SSD -> it's more expensive to buy new computer parts or buy a computer at this time today than it was a year ago for the same parts. So, like the other comments said you might have to explore used market in your area - though critically while staying away from scam listings that are like: "i7 (4th gen) 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Radeon 480 -> $500" people trying to charge "new" prices for ~14 year old parts = scam. Try to look for a listing that has a AMD Ryzen 3600 (or higher), 16GB RAM (or 32gb), 256GB SSD (or higher capacity), and yes I agree wit the other comment either RTX 2070 or ~ RX 6600, (or higher).And then crucially making sure that the parts in the listing match the photo like if the listing says "Geforce RTX 2070 Super" that the card doesn't have the "GTX label" (wrong label = wrong card = they are lying). Best if you can check out the computer, power it on, and confirm the specs before handing over the cash, And if you're not doing local used market, then online listings same thing stay away from scams like:SCAM LISTING: https://www.amazon.com/STGAubron-Gaming-3-7GHz-Radeon-Windows/dp/B0G1Z7XXL4 with a ~14 year old CPU.Just because it's online doesn't mean it's not a scam.You'd have to look up the release date of the major components like the CPU and GPU to know the release dateand to look up benchmarks online for example how well does the GPU do in games you're looking to play.
