[SOLVED] PC for Kali Linux

[Deleted member 2729451]

I am looking for a cheap pc that I can get Kali Linux on. I am thinking about going into cybersecurity that my school offers. But I have to have my own pc with Kali Linux on it. I'm very new to this so any help would be nice. Looking for a pretty cheap build as low as possible.

The normal use case for Kali is just have it on a USB stick, and boot into that when desired.
No need for a whole PC for it.

This is one of the things they'll teach you in that cybersecurity class.
Or they should, anyway.

Ok, My first thing to learn is this. They want me to learn how to make a bootable USB.(I Kinda know-how to) I don't have a pc that I can use for this is my problem. I need to get a build.

So you need a PC.
You have none?

What is your budget for this?

Then:

Kali Linux - Documentation

Official documentation of Kali Linux, an Advanced Penetration Testing Linux distribution used for Penetration Testing, Ethical Hacking and network security assessments.

I have a pc that I use every day. Would this one work? I use it to play games n stuff. Would I still be able to use it for stuff like that as well?
Windows 10
CPU-Ryzen 5 2600
GPU-GTX 1050
RAM-DDR4 16GB
Motherboard-BAZOOKA V2

Then no problem.
Your existing PC will work just fine.

The Kali documentation I linked above should teach you all the basics, and then some.

Sorry for the dumb question. Will I still be able to play my games like normal? That was the problem with why I wanted a new pc for this.

When you want to use the Kali OS, you boot from the USB stick you create.
When you want to play games, you reboot into Windows.
