No, a higher price does not mean a better gaming PC. The most important thing is the components you get for the price you pay. There is a big difference between getting an Intel Core i5-10400f processor vs. an i7-11400, as well as a GeForce GTX 1650 vs. an RTX 2060. Also, you might look at the specifications of a gaming computer and think to yourself, 'This is the best prebuilt gaming PC I can ever get!' The specifications might show a good processor, GPU, and high RAM, but the OEM might use poorer components for the power supply, motherboard, storage drives, and cooling fans to save cost.
