Pc's for RL

Hello everyone! so I'm looking into buying a PC and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a solid pc that will run pretty much only RL. I would LOVE for it to be within the price range of 300 - 500$...... i know this might not be enough, but it really just has to run better than a switch.

Thanks!

My old PC had a GTX-770 2GB with an i7 3770K, I was able to run RL at ~100 fps on 1080p. You can probably get the GTX-770 4GB version for 50 bucks on craigslist, not sure about the CPU, get a modern one, ideally with an included cooler. Or pick up a used one that supports your CPU (Intel/Amd). Pick up a motherboard with the same Socket as the CPU and supports DDR4 RAM. Get at least 8GB RAM, ideally 16, pay attion to the clock speeds.

At least 1 SSD with 500GB or more as your boot drive and storage, pay attention to read/write speeds, ideally don't buy it used. Need more capacity? Get an HDD on top of the SSD, or a larger SSD in the first place. Buy a new powersupply, don't cheap out on one! If it fails, you might fry other parts. Once you know your parts, use a PSU calculator online to know what capacity you need. If you can, get BeQuiet fans. Noctua is out of your price range and cheap fans are going to make a lot of noise. 1080p 60hz/144hz Display, 500$ should be plenty. Good luck.

@Metazolid So, how would that build compare to something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Dell-OptiPlex-Desktop-Computer-Keyboard/dp/B0BLQY6VF3/ref=sr_1_3?crid=LIB6UTV9255&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.T0QLYaCisJmEuckSs4-DncTjUj5ZM0rdbPRT69Dt58igzWLuAk7vHXIh1kdEN8u4LhKmwuOuOt1w7pQCJrlu2blu6fWYTyy5IrkIC85kf5xpx3dpLYMZF0AlklRagCyEKHZvvbUUjrFvWvxqBXxLMHGuMOTXNsxIEQrSDW6TGevxv21KJDbJ4SwXyg77t_z8jGkbKTbJeKM2IDXq4G_69i0NBuYCRL_mrUKP2B6EpWU.-rohP7aTf5c2_PRAPNr7GSfDvHptMNYgBl4u8vT1Gvc&dib_tag=se&keywords=gaming%2Bpc%2Bwith%2Bmonitor&qid=1737408932&sprefix=gaming%2Bpc%2Bwith%2Bmonitor%2Caps%2C218&sr=8-3&th=1

@Daddio997 I can take a look at it later, If you want/can render at a higher refresh rate than 60 fps, getting a 144hz monitor instead of 60hz should be on your list.

@Daddio997 If you get a deal on a pc that comes with a 144hz monitor, go ahead. I can't review specs of the pre-built pc's for you, don't have the time for that unfortunately. Take a look at some computer discords and Im sure they'll help you out picking one as well.

@Metazolid Ok, so ive decided that I don't want to build a pc, so I did some research (looking around) and found this pc and monitor. I think it will run RL just fine.
