    PC builds aren’t all so polarized. I am in the middle, spent like $1500 on components and built it myself and it looks great and runs smoothly. Sure, it doesn’t run Cyberpunk on Psycho but it’s running Starfield very nicely and I didn’t even have to tape an AC unit to it.

      I’d say I’m somewhere in the middle too. I also have this tendency to build high mid-tier as my budget allows then ride it for 7 years or so until the games I play start struggling. I just don’t have the money to keep up with the latest and greatest/upgrading every year.

      …admittedly since Baldur’s Gate 3 came out I’ve been using my PC as a space heater so take that as you will…
