I already have a macbook and a windows laptop but they can't run any videogames on it so I need a gaming pc. I've heard that building one is more worth it than buying a prebuilt but I have 0 clue how to build one. Where do I start and what parts do I need/should I get? Also, I don't have ethernet so do I need anything extra for wifi? Aesthetics don't really matter and monitor is part of the budget
