Websites like PCPartPicker.com will come in handy. On this website you will get to see completed builds of many gaming PCs. But here all the prices are written in US Dollars, so instead of ordering from here, you can order from your city’s PC market or online by looking at the list of components for the custom build of your choice. Once the right components are in place, assembling a gaming PC is a breeze. You can do this yourself or with the help of an IT engineer.

how much freedom

Any gaming console comes with a single configuration. You cannot upgrade its RAM, processor, graphics card (and there is no need anyway).

At the same time, you can upgrade the gaming PC anytime. With time you can increase graphics card, storage, processor, RAM. Can setup multiple monitors. Which is sometimes not possible for gaming consoles.

Ecosystem and Self Life

The gaming industry revolves around gaming consoles. Due to the single configuration, games are developed according to the gaming console. Big giants like Microsoft and Sony bring many exclusive game titles on their respective gaming consoles, which never even launch on PC. Like God of War, Halo.
