Hello everyone!

Brand new here to the forum. I've been eyeing some gaming computers for the first time in my life, and I figured coming to a place like this can probably offer a ton of benefits vs. me trying to figure out what is what.

I've been a console player for the last decade. Been waiting to buy a PS5, but everyone knows how hard they are to find.
After months of being unable to buy one, I'm finally considering switching to a gaming PC.

I know that graphic cards are extremely overpriced at the moment, so that is part of my question. Is it even worth opting for a gaming pc at this time, or will I be paying twice the cost of what it's worth, just due to the demand for graphics cards?

My other question is, is this PC worth the money?

I'm also not sure what the difference is between that one and this one:

As far as I understand, an I7 processor is pretty great, 16GB memory should be more than sufficient to play most games, and a GeForce GTX 1660 super 6GB graphic card isn't the greatest, but sufficient enough for the latest games?

Gaming is all this computer will be for. I have a MacBook that I work on. The games I intend to play are Rust and Call of Duty Warzone.

I would love your inputs!

For roughly the same price you could do this and either build it yourself or have someone else such as a local PC shop do it for you. This way you don't get shorted on quality components such as the psu and motherboard.

It seems to be the same price, but for an i5 rather than an i7? Is the difference negligible?

Would buying these parts and doing it myself result in a better quality pc vs the pre built one?

Thanks for the help.

Other than MS Flight Simulator there is only a few games tmk that take advantage of an i7. You'll benefit more from the gpu (RTX 2060).
 
Lebih baik menggunakan PC gaming dari asus, contoh rog
translation -
It's better to use a gaming PC from asus, for example rog


@Saiful Randika please post in English, as per forum rules
He is better off getting one made instead of a pre made that might have been sitting in a warehouse for the last 6 months and not have latest hardware.
 
in my opinion it is better to use a rog laptop at an affordable price and the specifications of dri rog are very good
And what Asus ROG laptop would you recommend?
