Hey everyone! I'm completely new to the world of gaming PCs and I'm looking for some advice on where to start. I'm really interested in buying one, but I'm not sure how much I should spend or whether it's better to build my own or buy a pre-built machine. The main games I want to play include Minecraft, Roblox, GTA, and other popular titles. I'm based in Australia, so any tips on budget or recommendations for a quality gaming PC would be greatly appreciated!

For a decent gaming setup, budgeting around $3,000 AUD is a safe bet if you want everything including keyboard, mouse, and monitor. But if you’re mostly focused on the games you mentioned, you might find used PCs under $1,000 AUD that will do the trick, especially for Roblox and Minecraft (aside from using heavy shaders).
Yeah, $3,000 is a bit on the high side for just those titles. You could potentially score a solid setup for between $1,800 to $2,200 AUD with a decent graphics card like the 5060 Ti.
