I've saved up between 2000-2500 euros with the plan to build a solid gaming PC. However, I've noticed that the prices for parts seem to be skyrocketing lately. Currently, I often play games like CS2, Marvel Rivals, and Valorant at internet cafes, where the PCs are top-notch. Since I have no experience building a PC, I'm wondering if going for a prebuilt system might be a better option for me. Any advice would be appreciated, especially from fellow newbies!

For games like CS2 and Marvel Rivals, you could get by with a budget setup, maybe even something under 200 euros. But if you're used to good PCs, you'd want something that matches that experience.
Exactly! I want something that feels as good as those high-end setups at cafes.
Honestly, you probably don’t need to blow your whole budget. There are great prebuilt options around 1000-1500 euros. Look for something with a Ryzen 7600 or 7700 and 32GB of RAM; that’ll serve you well for your games. If you can find one in your price range, a Ryzen 5800 or 5700 setup would also be solid.
I might have tagged you in another post asking about specific builds. What do you think?
Good luck finding that build nowadays, though. Prices are all over the place!
If you're looking to future-proof, consider getting a prebuilt with at least a 5070 or 9070, along with a decent CPU like the 9600X. It's a lot easier than building one yourself, especially for a beginner.
Yeah, but not for Rivals! If you want high performance, you're gonna need to invest a bit more.
