Entry-level gaming computers such as the HP Pavilion start at $600 and go up to $1,200. If you plan on playing popular titles that aren’t resource-heavy, a $600 PC can ensure 100+ frames per second on a 1080p monitor. However, if you need a budget solution for a 1440p experience with stunning visuals, models like the CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme will provide exceptional performance for a bit over $1,100.
