I would have to get a tv/monitor after getting a PC, no? So more than 800$?
You can build a gaming PC for almost any budget. Literally, choose an amount of money you want to spend, and you can build up to that number. If you are really serious about building a PC for yourself, I will send you my old graphics card free of charge. It is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. So you can save a hundred dollars right there on your first build.
Check out pcpartspicker.com and mess around there. Here is a build I have slapped together for you for $800, not including the graphics card which I will give you for free. You should do some more research and choose your components more carefully, but I just put this together as an example of what you could do with $800. A monitor is included here. Hopefully you can scrounge a mouse and keyboard from an old computer, school, a friend, etc. One of the great things about building your own PC is that you can upgrade components throughout life and come across good deals.
Maybe some other kind people on this Lemmy sub or elsewhere would donate other components for you to get started.
Here is a sub filled with people who would help you build your first PC: https://lemmy.world/c/buildapc
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !buildapc@lemmy.world
You can use any TV that has HDMI. I have a 75" TV hooked up to my PC and Switch.
You can do that with the steam deck, PS5, laptop, tower, anything. Every TV has HDMI now.
I'll never buy a monitor agian. I don't see the reason to when I can just use my TV and relax on my couch.
