A good example of what you're looking for is something like this ( ). It helps to watch gaming benchmarks on Youtube. For others, you might have to increase your budget. For older games, you might be able to lower your budget. Compare this to the recommended requirements of the most demanding game on your list. Revise your budget AND/OR resolution and FPS until both are compatible.Those games have lower requirements and can make do with smaller budgets. Make a new topic about it if you're interested.Īlso note that AAA gaming is different from e-sport games like CSGO, DOTA2, FortNite, HOTS, LoL, Overwatch, R6S, etc.
It's also noted that you can still get higher FPS on older or used PCs by lowering settings and/or resolution AND/OR buying new/used parts to upgrade your system. It's noted that some compromises (e.g., lower settings and/or resolution) can be made to achieve the same or slightly lower gaming experience within ☑5% of the above prices. Here are some rough estimates for builds with entirely NEW parts:ġ080p 60FPS ultra-settings modern AAA gaming: ~$1,200ġ440p 60FPS high/ultra-settings modern AAA gaming: ~$1,600ġ080p 144FPS ultra-settings modern AAA gaming: $2,000ĤK 50FPS medium/high-settings modern AAA gaming: > $2,400 For a bit of both, your PC build should be built on the HIGHEST specs recommended for your applications (e.g., if you only play FortNite and need CPU power for CFD simulations, use specs recommended for CFD).
Or maybe you've been fed up with your HP, Dell, Acer, Gateway, Lenovo, etc. Intro You've heard from all your gaming friends/family or co-workers that custom PCs are the way to go.
