I want to escape consoles and finally build a gaming pc but I’ve seen the prices…

Everything is really overwhelming for me and I have no clue what I should go for and everyone is giving me differing answers so I ask you.

Is building a PC ACTUALLY cheaper than buying one?

What specs would I even need? All I wanna do is play arc raiders comfortably at high settings and play heavily modded Garry’s mod.

    I restricted myself to brands I’ve used in the past, namely Corsair, Seasonic, and EVGA, and I wanted something fairly energy efficient so I went with a Gold, and almost everything listed was out of stock in the 500W+ range at the time I checked it. It probably doesn’t need to be quite that large, but it is a NAS that may hold 10 drives eventually.
