>For $700 you can build yourself a decent, upgradable PC... that will stand vertically.
TBH I don't think that's true anymore. Back in the day, yes, but low-end graphics cards are practically $700 alone.
I'm still using a GTX 1080. Honest to god it might be one of the best graphics cards Nvidia ever made. It's a little under a decade old and still crushing shit.
What do you think of this recent build example for $700?

The two graphic card options he presents are close to $300 and have 12GB or 16GB VRAM, but obviously that number dosen't tell much by itself.
Checking a few benchmarks, the Radeon RX 6750 XT ( possible to find for ~$350 ) seems to perform much better than the GTX 1080, which isn't a surprise considering it's much more recent, and has 12GB of VRAM
The guy has examples for anywhere from $500 to $2500, but he obviously benefits from affiliate links through the platform he directs to, so there might be more ''bang for your buck'' options.
