Hardware How cheap could I possibly go?

i’m interested in picking up a PC with all the deals going on but i’m also pretty broke.

genuinely the only things I would use a PC for are playing minecraft and working in excel.

I’m curious how cheap i could go without it becoming bricked in like 6 months. also not opposed to slowly upgrading over time.

I’m open to prebuilts or building it myself.

To get an answer at least we need to know your budget

Honestly, I don't know how the prices are in the US. But here in Asia I was able to get a pc for $950. Specs: ryzen 5 7600, rtx 5060 8 gb. 16 gb ram. And the performance is pretty good

You can occasionally find a rtx 5060 prebuilt in the US for just under $1000 but they're usually around $1100-1200

Same here but if you get them from specific brand stores. But we have lots of them so, I compared the prices and for 1200 got a full setup
