Budget gaming pc is something that many people desire. Not everyone wants to play games with 4K RTX On or on Ultra settings. For such people, we have gathered ideal components to build a budget gaming PC. All the parts for this build have to be brand new and the prices are the average taken from multiple online sources. So let’s get on with it:
CPU
The main component of your system. Since we are balling on such a low budget, we’ll try to cheap out as much as possible on the nonessentials. For the CPU, we have the Ryzen 5 2600 to the rescue. This chip is a budget monster. The CPU comes with 6 cores and 12 threads, has a base frequency of 3.4 GHz which can boost up to 3.9 GHz. With excellent single-core and multi-core performance, this is the ideal choice for a budget gamer. The CPU retails at around 13,000 rupees on mdcomputers and should pair up nicely with our GPU.
GPU
GPU is an equally main component of a system built for gaming. For the GPU, Nvidia’s Geforce GTX 1660 is the obvious choice. This offers great value for it’s asking price and should be able to handle most modern games at a standard resolution with a mixture of high and medium settings with a solid framerate. The card is based on the latest Turing architecture with 6 GB of GDDR5 memory and 1500 MHz base clock. The card retails for around 17,000 rupees on mdcomputers.
RAM
For the RAM, we chose the Adata XPG Gammix D30 16GB stick. It’s a single stick of RAM with 3000 MHz frequency. This is especially important since Ryzen favors higher frequency memory. The RGB is a cherry on the top. The RAM stick retails for around 6,000 rupees on mdcomputers.

Motherboard
The motherboard we’re going to be using for this build is the Gigabyte GA A320M. This is the cheapest motherboard we can get for this build and it gets the job done. It retails for around 4,000 rupees on mdcomputers.
PSU
The component that will power our system. The PSU of choice will be the Thermaltake TR2 550W. This again is the cheapest unit we could find that can deliver us an ample amount of power and comes with an 80+ white certification. This unit retails for around 3,000 rupees on mdcomputers.
Storage
For the storage, we have the Adata Premier Pro 256 GB SSD. This is a standard SATA SSD that will get the job done and comes with enough storage for the operating system as well as some games. Although, you may need to add another drive to your system once this fills up. It retails for around 3,000 rupees on mdcomputers.

Case
For the case, we went with the ChipTronex X310B. This is the cheapest RGB case on amazon, retailing for just 2000 rupees. This case does the bare minimum, housing our components, and gets a little stylish while doing so.
So, that pretty much wraps up the entire budget pc build. Again, you could get a lot more value than this if you go for used components. But, even this PC will perform nicely and give a respectable gaming experience with a pretty solid upgrade path. For more gaming news, stay tuned to The Profaned Otaku
