I'm thinking of getting a new desktop because my laptop is shit and my iPhone runs faster than it. Initially I just want something that runs better than my shitty $300 Lenovo POS and also better than my phone so I can stop using my phone as a primary computer, but I also want to play video games on it. Initially I'd consider getting a gaming PC, but when I think of the games that I would play on it I start to think that I may not need a full gaming rig and a standard office computer might actually be all I will need for what I would do on it.
Any advice?
Figure out the system requirements for the games you'd want to play. Build a system based off of those requirements.

Looking over the PC requirements for most of the games I want to play, the newest operating system for many of them is Vista since most of these games are quite old.
The newest ones are 2: Soma and the Bethesda RPG because Skyrim and New Vegas are pretty much the same.
Though there are a few other relatively new games I'm interested in, but those are also relatively simplistic like FTL or Stardew Valley. And while I do you know building a PC is usually the way to go, I'm thinking with the games I'm wanting to play I could just go down to Best Buy and buy a pre-built one
