Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Given that most current PCs have around 16 Gb Ram and a 2 Gb GPU, they offer for a price of around $500, enough power to run almost all of the current games. I have a humble laptop for €350, AMD 8Gb and 2Gb GPU and almost all Steam games work reasonably well for me. Some games like The Dark Mod (OpenSource, Win, Linux, Mac) a beautiful first person stealth/adventure game, worked fine for me even on my old laptop with 4 Gb RAM and 1 Gb GPU without problems. The only thing that is recommended is that the PC has a separate graphics card, apart from the CPU. It can be perfectly from AMD, which is cheaper than an nVidia with similar features. I therefore think that a current mid-range PC for around $500-600 is enough.
