    Here you go, bud. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N3cVgB

    This matches my $2,000+ build from 6 years ago. I still use it today, and I have no plans to upgrade still. It runs modern games at at least 50-80 fps at 4k.

    This build is $652.99. It doesn’t include windows, but I paid $19 for windows pro, and Linux is free.

      That’s very impressive for that price, though I am highly skeptical of those framerates since my PC has better specs and doesn’t get that without some serious compromises in settings. How are you getting a Windows Pro license for $19? I use linux 99% of the time, but I’d love to have a pro license on the cheap.

        It depends on the title. Obviously it’ll run terraria at 4k but Cyberpunk obviously won’t. Consoles do the same thing though and just lower the resolution for difficult titles.

        If you aren’t going to use Win Pro for anything important, you could always run massgrave and unlock it for free.
