I just have a question that i wanted to ask,

How many would a "gaming pc" cost? I mean would it be at least 500+ euro's/dollars or can I build a pc that plays the latest games with good fps on a pc from like 300 euro's/dollars ?
Just a question I wanted to ask because I want to build a pc but I don't have a great budget so if i knew how much it would cost I could adapt my budget.

Thank you for reading atleast :)
and maybe replying.

PS: don't mind my englisch I'm from belgium :)

Because pc's do so much more than just play games, the parts cost more. A lot of people use them for gaming, but they're far more capable than say a console game system. If you have a pc already and are willing to upgrade it to play games it could serve as a dual purpose machine. Unless there are pc specific games not on a console you want to play, the better budget route is almost always going to be a console. For instance, in the us (I'm not sure of uk pricing) an xbox one or playstation 4 run around $350-400usd. They'll play all the games compatible with that system consistently well, no issues with processing power or graphics, no stuttering, lagging, fps drops etc. Those problems are all typical of pc builds. If you were purely...

If you were purely interested in gaming and nothing else, putting that same $350-400 into a gaming pc won't come close to the reliable/predictable performance of a console. Starting with nothing and coming up with a similar gaming machine in a pc will cost at least twice what a console does. The reason being, a console will only play games, connect to streaming video and play dvd's or bluray discs. A pc can do any number of things from video editing to content creation, graphic design, fully access the internet, play songs and movies, burn songs and movies to cd/dvd/br and on and on. Bottom line I guess, unless there's a specific reason for it such as a pc only game title, pc's aren't a cost effective or budget minded gaming solution.
