Best budget PC for gaming? This setup is decent as it feels like you have the power of high-end or "ultra-end" PC:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 (atleast 6-core)

-> Why? for multitasking purposes while gaming because you'll open apps like Discord, Steam, and other apps.

GPU: RX 570/580 or GTX 1050ti/1060/1660

-> Why? You need decent graphics while gaming in fast-paced games. 1080p with 100+fps in custom settings will do good.

Motherboard: A320(AM4) and LGA1151(B365/B360)

-> Why? If you'll just game with no overclocking since overclocking is not necessary for average consumers.

RAM: 8GB or 12GB

-> Why? 16GB is acceptable but a bit much as an allowance for processing unless heavy-multitasking while gaming.

PSU: Any certified 80+ Bronze or Gold rated and trusted brands.

-> Never cheap out the power supply if you want a long term gaming. Even while tight on budget.


HDD and SSD - use SSD for fast loading apps and OS, use HDD for large capacity games.
