Brutal Cannot afford a mid-range gaming PC

[Mohamedömar]

Gaming PCs are fucking expensive specially after AI crisis, a PC with ryzen 5 7500f and rtx 5060 costs approximately 1200$, and if you want to get a better pc with ryzen 7 9700x and rtx 5070, it costs over 2100$

It is brutal to be sub5 short ugly incel and at the same time live in a shithole that avg income is 140$ with limited internet, so you cannot afford a great cope like a gaming PC

Yes, 5060, 5060TI, 5070 are mid-range GPUs in 2026

Get a rtx 4050 laptop then. Or just get a entry level MacBook. They're not the best for gaming, but still very powerful laptops.

Have you used them before? Because you're pretty wrong. They're a bit overpriced, but they're a whole lot better than windows and Android. Coming from an ex-android and current apple user.

 

[Mohamedömar]

Have you used them before?

yes but for test

but they're a whole lot better than windows and Android

Android mogs ios but mac os idk but I used to windows

I'm happy with my potato from several years back
