Given that you are quite price cautious, your only option is a console. (Any entry level gaming PC will cost > $500) . Then it basically breaks down to your budget :
$200-400 : pick PS4 (for exclusive games) or Xbox (gamepass extra monthly cost)
Greater than $450 : Wait for PS5/Xbox Series X as both are backwards compatible (cheaper games).
My 2 cents: if you don't want to spend more than $200 get this generation console (PS4/XBox) else wait for next generation.
You won't be able to buy any console right now due to Covid-19 anyway.
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
