my nephews just built low-mid end gaming PCs and both their setups came up around $1500, no idea where you are getting this $700 figure for in 2025/26. Their low/mid CPU and GPU alone was well over $500.
That doesn't sound low-mid to us, but maybe we're Just Poor™. Our CPU was like $100 and our GPU was like $250, used (only used part in the whole build). All told, maybe $600? It's not a very fancy computer. It'd certainly cost WAY more now though, with the explosion of prices.

Can your PC game?
Totally! Plays pretty much everything we throw at it, except for one not-really-optimized indie UE5 game that's borderline (which is probably partially the game's fault, they improved optimization quite a bit since launch and it runs significantly better now but still not stellar, 30fps at most, but it's playable; everything else runs just fine, generally solidly 60+).
