I'm new to PC building and usually play Roblox obstacle courses at the lowest graphics settings, so I don't need high-end performance. My laptop has been getting slower over the past few years, and I may buy a proper desktop in a few years. I originally assumed even a basic PC would cost around €2,000, but what would I realistically need to spend on the components?

Roblox can run on almost anything, so a decent used PC around €400 could handle it without trouble. Spending €2,000 would be massive overkill for your current games. Also, before replacing the laptop, you could try reinstalling the operating system or cleaning up unnecessary programs, since that may improve its speed.
A basic PC made from new parts would probably start around €700–€800, while roughly €1,000 gives you more room to avoid cutting corners. For Roblox specifically, that would already be more than enough. Going much below that usually means buying a used or refurbished system.
The right budget depends on what you might play later. If you only plan to play Roblox, stay well below €1,000. If you want newer, demanding games in the future, check their requirements first and build around those. A €2,000 budget is still high-end and could cover something like a powerful gaming CPU, a modern graphics card, 32 GB of memory, and a 1 TB SSD for excellent 1440p performance.
PC prices can range from a few hundred euros for used hardware to several thousand for an enthusiast build. A €3,800 system would be aimed at running demanding games at very high settings, not basic Roblox gameplay. Remember to budget separately for the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and operating system if you need those too.
