Best pc?

Best pc to play only steam games, mainly planet zoo. Not a massive budget. Cost off living and all that 🤣

I was just talking about this with a buddy the other day. Honestly your best bet is to just get a steam deck. If all you want is steam games, then that'll do it out of the box. Not sure how Planet Zoo runs on one, but shouldn't be hard to find an answer on that.

Steam deck is like $300, an average/decent PC is going to be hundreds more than that. Not to mention, if you're any bit tech savvy or can follow directions, you can sideload emulators and other things onto the steam deck.

yeah i agree with you. if you in tight budget just buy steam deck, you can buy an used one instead if you want to save more money. Many people sell their lcd screen steamdeck for cheap because everybody try to get the new one oled screen. I think planet zoo will run okay in steam deck.

If you want to build an actual desktop pc you could do that in that 300 dollars price range, but you should do many research in internet or youtube about best component to buy at that price range. I actualy tend to side with desktop pc because you can upgrade it little by little until you feel comfortable with your rigs

The current costs of personal computers are so varied it can be difficult to select one specific build or brand of computer.
Things to consider
What is your real budget? How much can you really commit to spending?
No need to get the biggest and best of everything in a computer. Current mid range computers will do a lot and handle most things well.
Although they are common these days, avoid integrated graphics solutions. They tend to show good numbers and great parts inside but the numbers are inflated as memory and other things are shared by the system and the graphics solution.
Note that historically, a good new computer will be good for 7 to 10 years in terms of tech and maybe more in terms of performance.
