Build Super PC is always more expensive than buying a pre-built machine. When purchasing components individually, however, they are often better in quality than the bulk-ordered components that go into pre-built computers. In this budget-range, we'd recommend spending between $600 and $800 for a solid 1080p-oriented gaming PC build. For a Mid-Range system, the CPU you should aim for will be either an i5 or Ryzen 5 processor
