I've been a PC gamer for decades, but completely stopped being also a console gamer after PS3.

You can have a great time at the mid level, or even lower on PC. I built my mid range PC in 2016, and only just a few months ago did I upgrade my processor from an AMD 1600X to a 5600x and my Nvidia 1060 GPU to a Radeon 6600 XT. Cost me $350 for the both of them. Went the Radeon route because it plays nicer with Linux.

There's enough great games out there worth playing that I'll be able to enjoy this system for the next several years.
