A low-mid range PC. Maybe? Prices for components are fucking wack and I'm broke anyway, so I am not sure how far 1000 dollars would go rn.
My current PC was ~$900, built in 2019 and was for low-entry VR, or high performance in flat space games for 1080p res and 144hz.
You can probably build a decent entry level gaming PC for that, that can do the latest games at 1440p.
Ryzen 9600X, motherboard, 32GB RAM, and either a nVidia 5060 Ti or AMD 9060 RX with 16GB VRAM.
Might have to reuse the case, storage and PSU, but at this point PC gamers are used to cannibalising their old machines to save money.
Personally I'm hanging on with a 1060 6GB, and just using my PS5 for anything demanding. I thought the 1060 was dead the other day, but a quick autopsy and a can of air duster later and it was working fine again.
