My two young sons (ages 8 & 13) enjoy the PS5 that they got this past Christmas. However, there are several games that are not offered on PlayStation.

Most, if not all, of these games are exclusively Windows-based.

With that in mind, what gaming PC (build?) would you recommend? My budget is $800-$1000 but I’d appreciate the lower end if possible.

    You could get them a build with a ryzen 5600g Should be enough to run anything from before 2016 at good enough graphics and struggle with newer ones, and you could eventually buy a graphics card in the future if you wanted to

            I can’t see the price since I’m from another country, but could be better: a 4gb vram card is good enough (I’ve got the 1650 super and it’s really good for 1080p gaming), and the definitely not good enough specs are the ram and the drive space.

            8gb is enough for gaming, but could get into problems with newer or more demanding games like Halo infinite or PUBG.

            256gb drive is good enough for the OS and a few programs and maybe some games since newer ones get to be over 50 gigs.

            If the price is good enough and you can afford an extra ram stick and an extra drive, go for it.

            If you already have compatible ram or an unused drive, you can even save some cash.
