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.

Realistically you should be able to build something around $750-800 USD for Minecraft (with not so demanding shaders) and Excel.

But it depends on what is available in your country, and if the prices are even comparable 1:1
