A sub-$300 gaming PC might seem completely unrealistic in 2026, but the BC-250 changes the equation. Repurposing this former crypto mining card, which shares its core silicon with the PS5, takes just a few hours of work. The result? A remarkably capable PC built for solid 1080p and even 1440p gaming.
