The Gaming PC
Building a gaming PC with an overall cost below 1000 euros/dollars is difficult, and this is without considering the monitor’s price. But the PS5 Pro doesn’t come with a monitor either. You hook it up to a TV. The same can be the case for the gaming PC.
The prices were at the time of the review. They change ALL the time!

The PS 5 Pro costs $700 in the US market, while a capable PC using branded parts, including a good power supply, will cost $1027. Thanks to its good power supply, this PC will be able to support the upcoming GPU generations should you want to upgrade at any time in the future. I could also suppress the cost by selecting lower-speed DDR5 RAM, but you should not go lower than 6000 MHz.
