We’ve settled on hitting under $1200 in order to provide the best price to performance we can find for our money. Everything you could possibly need to begin PC gaming with performance that exceeds consoles. $1200, from scratch, and you’ll have a complete gaming PC with a capable GPU, CPU, plenty of RAM, both HDD & SSD storage, a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and headset. So we’ve set ourselves the target of $1200. With huge games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2 on the horizon, we figure it’s the perfect time to be thinking about a new PC build to enjoy these AAA games looking and running at their finest. But, it’s also important not to totally scrimp on the other components though, as the right hardware can last you for years. Your GPU will usually be the most expensive component of your PC build and it’ll also have the biggest impact on visuals and performance. What separates an ordinary PC from a gaming PC is, usually, the graphics card. We all use PCs in our everyday lives, so we pretty much all need one. The core of a PC is useful for just about everything.
Some will say you need to spend thousands upon thousands in order to stay current with PC gaming but this is not the case. ORIGINAL: Building a gaming PC, while more expensive than your typical console, need not cost the world. Due to the continued hardware component supply issue across the globe, we have not felt that it is very representative to adjust this build for some time.
