It’s the age old question: how cheap is a good gaming PC? And are you better off upgrading the $69 dollar PC or starting from the ground up? We cover budget CPU and GPU upgrades (like the 2080 SUPER or 6700 XT), RAM, and storage solutions. The video compares performance, offers tips on finding deals for used components, and discusses the used PC market, emphasizing balancing cost and performance for modern AAA games.
