I never needed to get all those extras to play an MMO or most indie games. Not every game is a system hog.
Just examples of why PCs can run up the bill. That's why I put Needs in quotation marks.
In actuality, you'll probably only need the Monitor, Headset/Speakers, Keyboard & Mouse and something to put it on. And non of those have to be expensive. And that's only if you bought a stationary. Laptops have become a cheaper alternative nowadays. And you'll only really need a mouse for those.
But laptops aren't known for being the best solution when it comes to gaming. They tend to overheat, even without pushing them.
But alas, it was more about my personal experience when it comes to the types of people that play, PC vs. Console. And the console players are typically the "casual gamers" in that scenario.
