Hey everyone! My dad is buying me a computer since we're moving to a different country, and it's a bit of a challenge because I'm not a fan of flying. He's given me a budget of $600, and I'm looking for any tips or suggestions on whether I should build, buy used, or go for a prebuilt setup. What are your thoughts?

Since your dad says you can build it yourself, that's great! You'll save some cash there. If you just want to play games like Siege, focus on a decent graphics card, maybe something like a used RTX 3060, but do check on prices before you commit.
Yeah, I'm definitely looking to play Siege. I think building it would be fun, too!
What do you want to use the PC for? The budget is pretty tight, so you'll likely need to consider used parts, especially if you're looking to game.
Used parts are your friend! Focus on saving money for the pricier components. If you search around, you might find a nice deal for a mini PC or a gaming laptop in that budget, especially with local stores or Costco.
Wherever you're headed, prices can vary a lot! Sometimes it might be cheaper to buy in the new country, or you could build it before you leave. Just keep that in mind while you plan.
If you live near a nice area, check for good deals on used parts! It's the best way to stretch your budget.
