Is PC gaming economically comparable to console?

Can pick up a used 2070 or 3060 for £150-£180 and a core i5 with 16GB RAM is easy to find for less than £100.

Motherboard? PSU? Storage? Case? Cooler? 

Ryzen 5500 is the best cost efficient CPU in this case to go for, can get it brand new with cooler for just under £60.

RX 6600 XT is a good match for the consoles, which you can pick up for about £160.

DDR4 ram is dirt cheap, £22 for 2x8gb 3200mhz sticks.

Cheapest AM4 motherboard, about £45.

We're already at £287 without the case/psu/storage or a gamepad.

Won't even attempt to match the £150 you can get a used series S for.

i5, 16gb RAM, PSU, MB, HDD for less than £100
