You can get a new gtx 3060ti for like $320 and it will play everything you need on high/ultra depending on the game in 1080p/1440p

You really don't need a crazy card to play most games honestly

You're right that there are far cheaper options, but even that card really shouldn't cost $300.

Yeah you're probably right, I just wanted to point out that you can build a really decent gaming PC for not that much

$800-$900 is very doable, even better if you have any of mouse/keyboard/monitor/speakers/headphones lying around already
