I just landed a job at a fast food place and I'm curious about building a gaming PC. I want something that can run most games at around 60 frames per second. I'm aiming for a decent setup without overheating my wallet, so how much should I realistically budget for this?

$500-$600 could work if you find deals, but it might be tight if you want something that lasts a bit longer. Just keep an eye on what components are essential for your gaming needs.
It's all about what you want from your games. If you want to run them smoothly at 60fps on decent settings, a good budget would be around $900 to $2000. It really depends on whether you're after higher graphics or if you're okay with lower settings. For the games you mentioned, you won't need the top-end components, but having some headroom for future games is wise.
If you're careful with deals, you might be able to get a solid setup for around $1200. Check out the used market too; you can often find good components at lower prices. Look for a reliable GPU to get good performance!
Currently, GPUs are inflated in price, so expect to spend around $2000 for a solid build that will last without major upgrades. It can be frustrating, but this way, you'll be set for a while without needing to upgrade too soon.
