The good old days, I remember when I built my first PC in 2016. It costed me around 550€ and it could run everything pre 2015 at 60FPS on ultra and the newest games from medium to high settings depending on the game, but still 60FPS. I played The Witcher 3 on medium with some options disabled and the game looked so great and ran so smoothly The GPU was an R9 380, a very decent GPU for just a bit more than 200€, now even the crappiest GPU to run modern games on low costs like my whole PC kek, we've gone crazy thanks to cryptos and scalpers Or if you want a very high end GPU they cost more than my car, nigga wtf, in 2016 the most expensive and high end GPU of the market was like 600€ and that was considered too much already.
Before if you bought a pre-built gaming PC it was because you didn't know much about technology or because you were rich and didn't care that you were being ripped off. Now it's the opposite, the pre-built PC is still expensive but has become the most affordable option if you want something that runs modern games at 60FPS on at least medium settings. I can't believe we reached a point where a pre-built gaming PC with all the components (except monitor, mouse and keyboard) is cheaper than many GPUs It never began for youngcels who want to get into PC building.
I still have that PC from 2016 but it's really outdated and it struggles when running games later than 2019 with high specs, so I mostly game on an Asus gaming laptop that costed me 600€ on Amazon sales. I could play RE8 at 60FPS with most settings on high so that's enough for me
