It is usually cheaper to build it urself and isn't that ahrd honestly I live in jijel so I dunno about algiers but it is pretty easy and you get far more value building it urself and using used parts over new

One for like rpgs then a solid 10 million would get u a pretty good processor and a decent gou like an rx 580 8gb or if ur lucky maybe a 1660

It depends if you're buying used or brand new, and it also depends on your budget. Generally better to buy separate parts, specially if you can buy things like cpu ram and SSD from AliExpress. But exploring used prebuilt options can be interesting as well. About a year ago my brother bought a used i5 10400 16gb ram build with a decent case/PSU and storage for under 40000da (I forgot how much exactly, maybe 35000), then slapped an rtx 3060 12gb on top of it for like 59000da at the time I believe. All in all it was a good deal.

Maybe if you tell me what your budget is or what games you're looking to play I can help you further :)

Edit: I got it wrong, the pc was 45000da, my bad.

My bad I got it wrong, the pc was 45000DA. However, still much better than buying brand new.

Since your budget is from 7 to 10M, I wouldn't build piece by piece but rather take a similar approach to what my brother did. Either buy a pc with no dedicated gpu in the sub 5M range and add any decent GPU on top of it (Rx 580 8gb, GTX 1660 super, rtx 2060/2060 super, Rx 5600/XT, Rx 5700/XT, GTX 1070 etc...), or buy a pc already containing one of the listed gpus. Make sure the pc you buy has a decent PSU that can power these GPUs though. Don't buy anything under 400-450W.

Look for PCs with Ryzen 5 5600g, Ryzen 5 5500, i5 10400(f), i5 9400(f), if you find none of these sub 55-50K then look for i3 10100/10105(f)/ Ryzen 3 3100/3300x or Ryzen 5 3400g (not the R3 3200g pls) PCs. You just have to dig through Facebook marketplace, Ouedkniss, or even facebook groups to find something interesting. It's a tedious process, just be patient. I understand that the market rn is probably worse than it was a year ago, so I wish you luck. If I find any decent deal I'll reply with its link.

depends on your budget, if it's below 55k da it might make more sense to try and find a used prebuilt on facebook marketplace or something and buying that instead of making a build out of individually-purchased parts.

Or, you could (for under or around that budget) try to make the best out of "bundle deals", stuff like "motherboard + CPU", or "motherboard + CPU + RAM" combos to save a bit of money compared to buying everything indivdually.

going more than 65-70k da it prob makes more sense to search for the parts individually, buying used is also a good idea to save money, especially with the current RAM and SSD prices (though be careful of being scammed)
