Is $500 a reasonable budget for a gaming PC in 2026?

I’m not looking for anything fancy, max fps, max performance Superman type of PC. The only game I want to play is DayZ. I already have a monitor, mouse, keyboard etc. I could probably even salvage some parts from my laptop (SSD, hard drive, possibly even my processor depending on how viable that is). I’m sure this sub gets this question a lot and it’s probably repetitive so sorry about that (I appreciate the interaction). The only thing that I’m particular about is have a NVIDIA graphics card but I could probably revitalize that sentiment. Thanks

Edit: aside from budget is there any good YouTubers or places online that you guys recommend where I can find some good information?
