[quote=Anonymous]Gaming computers can be expensive because they use high-end parts to be faster and to look better. Desktop computers are pretty modular (e.g., parts can be replaced/upgraded), so I would start with a desktop in your budget now and upgrade, as needed. I would not build one (although not hard) because parts are expensive, particularly graphics cards because there is a world wide chip shortage and because the available graphics cards are being bought up to mine bitcoins. Also, the Windows license is expensive. You could not built a computer for the price (e.g., $600) of desktop from a store. I would look at your usual places (Costco, best buy) for a pre-built desktop with a graphics card and not "integrated graphics," which is bad for gaming because some of the computer memory and processing is being used for for graphics processing and are, therefore, bad for gaming.
