for 317 you can build relatively decent PC without GPU, so add something like 200$ and you can have decent setup for maybnewest games like Cyberpunk on mid settings

I bought GTX 970 and Ryzen 7 1700 for 240$, but it was 2 years ago

> for 317 you can build

Or you can just walk into a shop and leave with a new phone.

Three-digit dollar amounts and the developing world often don't go well together. A phone can be had for comparatively cheaply, in comparison.

Well, people from poor countries probably don't need to play newest AAA games.

>A phone can be had for comparatively cheaply, in comparison.

Some phones definitely can, same with some computers, the thing is whether you're comfortable with trade-offs.

Computer unlike smartphone can be relatively easily built with used parts.

In the early 2000s you could reasonably expect people to have access to a desktop computer of some description and this advice would've been somewhat valid. In 2021, nobody really assumes you have access to a desktop computer anymore, but we do assume people have access to a mobile device of some description. In that world, a $300 mobile is a much saner investment than a $300 PC for most people.
