What is the best inexpensive computer configuration you can imagine?

[Supafly]

Define inexpensive? What is inexpensive to you may not be inexpensive to others and vice versa

[FeilDOW]

A console.

[A&A]

The best like best for the buck or the cheapest one?

For the hardware you get inside i'd say they are not bad at all if your on a tight budget. Much more powerful than a 5700g rig that would cost close to the same.

there's some decent prebuild deals at long last around the internet

prior to covidia economy i wouldn't be suggesting such a thing but here we are

companies like amazon finance builds without credit or interest if yer a loyal primer, which means you can get a not too inflated pc for a hundred bones per month

that's cheap as it's gonna get in the modern world without any significant hangups or credit commitments

[Tesseract]

having said that i still say the deck is the best total config when you account for the guts and gear that goes into every unit

powerful portable computer that boots w10
custom os that opens compatibility of steam's backlog for years to come
nice controller
nice screen
hdmi outs
no significant hardware bottlenecks
lots of mips, bro

it's the dreamy promise of the gameboy made whole

Building a budget gaming PC is finally possible again.

Those two videos give useful pointers on what to look for when entry level gaming and going a bit further.

If you ask me, l wont spend even a cent for case but ok
DDR4 second hand is an option
GPU second hand is an option
Even if you want old Ryzen 5 or 7 from 2000 series

Or old Xeon station for 100 bucks
or old i5 or i7 CPU with motherboard

Second hand or third hand always was a thing

For price to performance I'd say this is a solid mid-range build. Though, I'd probably go with 32GB RAM.

inexpensive ?
maybe a 1030 with a Ryzen 3 3200G and some ddr4... but really what do you want to do with it, since that determines what you need at minimum

The most inexpensive I can imagine is maybe an old Raspberry PI, but you won't get far with gaming on it...
