Exactly. This is again one of those numbers he pulls out of his bottom. Like always.

I've seen these. Old server CPU's, and usually an RX580 or GTX 1660 GPU. Obsolete tech. Usually ship with only 8GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. They can play GTA-V or Cod at 1080p, but not anything more strenuous. You're looking at hardware that is half a decade obsolete, and won't meet the "Gaming PC" standard at all.
Your specific image is from Empower Gaming Computers, and that price is the bare bones box price before you turn it into an actual gaming PCt.
What you're getting is an AMD R5 4600 CPU with the stock cooler that is guaranteed to run hot. 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM, a 512MB SSD, and a GTX 1660 6GB GPU.
So only a bit better than a Series-S
If we want to turn it into an actual "Gaming PC" with 32GB RAM, 2TB Storage, and an RTX 3060, it runs $964.59. And that is still shipping with an entry-level GPU. They don't offer anything better for the package you pulled the screenshot from. You can't even upgrade the CPU to something half-decent like a 5600X.
Maybe next time I'm driving through there, I can ask them about offering CPU upgrades in their options. Though you can build that same system from one of their other lines with a 5600x and a 7700XT for $1,219.94. Which isn't much more for double the framerates at 1440p gaming instead of 1080p.

If you're going to worry about price, someone can buy a used console for low as well. In any case, a PC that can run this game decently can cost under $1000. Upgrading one you already have can cost even less since you don't need a new monitor, case, keyboard, mouse.
As far as this game goes, my computer that I bought about 6 years ago ran the game fine, without any slowdowns other than in the middle of large cities (no slowdowns in POIs or during horde night). And it was a low level gaming PC at that time... AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, RX 580 4GB GPU, 8GB RAM with a 128GB SSD main drive and a 1TB HDD. The only issue I had was every 20 minutes when the cleanup process ran because the game was on HDD. When I installed the game on the tiny SSD, that went away. Now, I'm on the same computer but upgraded to 32GB RAM and an additional 1TB SSD. I run the game on mostly high settings. Most games I play can run at ultra settings, but I don't usually play super high graphics games like a lot of the FPS games out there, so that's why. My only issues with it is slow chunk loading when driving at high speeds in a town (supercharger speeds). Other than that, it runs great. Of course, I play at 1080p and only have a monitor capable of 60FPS. The computer couldn't handle higher resolution or higher FPS.
But the point being that even older hardware can run the game well. And I paid about $700-800 for the computer, including all peripherals and monitor. I can upgrade this to a better system for a few hundred dollars, depending exactly what I want to upgrade to. That's the thing with computers... upgrades aren't that expensive once you have a computer. You can do an upgrade of GPU every 2-3 years and motherboard/CPU on alternating years and only spend $200-300 if you aren't going for the best hardware. By upgrading frequently, you can use lower cost mid-level hardware and still play almost everything at max settings since most games don't use the best hardware to its maximum level anyhow. So you can get a decent gaming computer for under $1000 if you're not trying to play games that require really powerful GPUs and don't care about running at 256FPS or whatever at 4k resolution. You just need to make sure you are choosing a computer that has decent stats and not just grabbing a budget computer.

let me introduce you to cloud0420, he is 1 of the thousands of players who upgrade from console to pc to play pvp he also just joined our server yesterday. This is why he decided to upgrade from console to pc.Name 10.
Make it verifiable, just for fun.
We probably see a gaming PC and an average smartphone differently. For me, a gaming PC should have 4-channel memory access, and that's $200 just for the motherboard. The smartphone I've been using for 4 years cost a little over $100, unfortunately the battery on it started to die, it only works for 6 days without charging.

1 down, 9 to go...
If you would stop throwing random numbers at us over and over again, we might take you a bit more serious.
(This also goes for 420'ers... Those are on an other planet so they don't count in serious discusions, so it is actualy 0 down, 10 to go
)

As I think most people would understand it, ‘several weeks’ is more than ‘a couple of weeks’, but less than ‘many weeks’.
I think if by ‘several weeks’ they meant more than 6 or 8 weeks, it would feel dishonest, so they should have said ‘a couple of months’. That at this point we don't even have any information about dev streams... looks strange. At least now they are occasionally informing fans who don't visit this forum on the steam page about delays, before the information was much worse.
Maybe they should update the roadmap, at this point it sounds extremely unrealistic to think of 3 major upgrades between now and the end of 2025.

you mean weird numbers? a weird number is a natural number that is abundant but not semiperfect. In other words, the sum of the proper divisors (divisors including 1 but not itself) of the number is greater than the number, but no subset of those divisors sums to the number itself.
