for emulation, single core speed matters. Therefore, I'd recommend an i5 9400f build

I think the first two are probably the best bang-for-the buck. The rtx 2060 build would offer the best pc gaming experience, but the gpu is kind of a waste on current emulators. The 9600K + gtx 1660 build is probably the best performer all around for emulation.

I have basically this set up iBUYPOWER Elite Slate2 080i Desktop Gaming PC - Intel i5-9400F 2.9GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, 1TB Intel 660P Nvme SSD, 8GB DDR4-2666 RAM, Wifi Included, RGB, Win 10 Home 64-bit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NSX5BPG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gjI2CbMFWCZ3J

And I run well over 144 till end game then maybe dip down to 100 if there's 20-30 people left. People who know more than me about computers won't believe me and I don't know why it works so well but that's my experience with it

Building one yourself will be the best route .. you might have a tech savvy friend that can help you out building it

Still you will need keyboard / mouse / monitor...

Instead of 16GB ram you can go 8GB and later on upgrade it ...

If not look at least a pre built with at least an AMD RX580 or Nvidia 1600 (better ir it’s a 1660)

This is really similar to what I bought for the price and I have had 0 issues with it. I'm sure you can get a better bargain for the dollar with building it yourself this is just my suggestion.

Good luck!
