Hey everyone! I'm really in need of some advice here. I've loved gaming for as long as I can remember, even though I grew up using an old HP computer that barely handled the games I played like Call of Duty 1 and Minecraft. After it broke down when I was 17, I switched to consoles, but honestly, I can't stand them anymore and really miss my old PC gaming days. I believe getting a gaming PC again would make a big difference in my life since I often struggle to find things to fill my time.
My budget is $1000, and I know it's a bit tight, especially since I also need to get a monitor and a keyboard. Do you think this amount is enough to get a decent setup? I'm mainly interested in playing games like Cyberpunk, GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption, and FF XIV. Any help would be super appreciated!

You might be able to keep it under $1000, especially if you're open to buying second-hand components. Just remember, if you go cheap, you might sacrifice performance.
Absolutely! But with a monitor included, you might need to bump your budget to around $1200-$1500 for a solid PC, considering the current pricing on RAM and SSDs. However, if you're set on that $1000 budget, here’s a minimum build I recommend that should handle the games you've mentioned at decent settings: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jXLD8Z. You could save some cash by going for a single stick of 16GB RAM or considering used parts for even lower costs.
