    Pre-built Gaming PC?

    Right now pre built is the only reasonable option, the high prices on hardware is a consequence of the scalpers making cartel on parts, if you buy parts from them you contribute to that bad way of doing things. A pre-built with a 3060 would allow you to play whatever you want at a good level, a...
