How much would it cost to buy my own gaming computer?

I’m going to do some research myself, but before I do so, about how much do you think someone will spend to build their own gaming computer? As cheap as possible, but still running games on high graphics.
Does it really have to be a AMD motherboard, I heard Asus motherboards are better?

Generally for a good gaming computer, you need to set a certain bar, and research what kind of games it is you’re going to be playing. See what kind of performance people get with a specification, and try to make your computer around that rough description, cutting a few corners here and there to save money if needed.
My computer cost around 600-800 dollars, and it can run most of the newer games on full. (it’s using a Phenom II x4 3.2 ghz cpu) Use AMD for your CPU, they’re cheaper, and generally give the same performance as intel. Make sure you get an AMD motherboard to match it. There are quite a few guides on how to pick your components, but try to go with what I said. It’s what I did to make mine.
Asus make AMD mobo’s. It doesn’t have to be AMD. You can build a decent intel gaming rig for around $600
