  • Imo your best bet is to see if you can find someone else’s used gaming computer.

    Roughly ~400$ gets you pretty far for hardware 3-5 years old

    The energy efficiency will be much worse, so depending on how much you use it you may want to account for that and get slightly newer.

    In my personal experience look start in amd’s Am4 platform, as it’s quite upgradable up to a 5800x3d.

    But to start something like a 2700x or 3700x are solid cpus.

    Equivalent Intel cpus are an option too.

    As for gpus look for 1000s series nvidia 1070-1080 and onwards. Less than might be too weak.

    Similar for amd. Vega 56/64, 5700xt etc.

    Huh the 1080ti came out 7 years ago, so I was a bit off.
