What to Consider
Take these considerations into account before you build or buy a PC for gaming:
Needs
What kind of games you want to play? At an entry level budget, you can easily incorporate eSports titles. They run decently on low-end systems and also do well on mid-range to high-end systems.

If you can pay $600 and higher, you will enjoy immersive gameplay at high framerates and better graphics settings. This system should last you up to four years.
If you are a professional gamer, your PC will become an investment, so you should be prepared to spend a lot, not just on the initial build but on constant improvements.

Budget
- You’ll need a budget of at least $300 to purchase the core components at an entry-level.
- Increase your budget to between $400 and $600 if you want playable framerates in cutting-edge modern games.
- If you’re willing to spend $700 to $800, you can achieve more modern titles and even get into some VR gaming and content creation.
Components
You need to make sure your parts are compatible with each other and well balanced, in order to build a proper gaming PC. Purchasing a PC toolkit is smart. In general, you will need the following gaming PC parts:
- Processor (CPU)
- Motherboard (MOBO)
- Graphic Card (GPU)
- Memory (RAM)
- Storage (SSD or HDD)
- Power Supply Unit (PSU)
- PC Case
Peripherals, Accessories and OS
Now that you have determined your main build, let’s talk about the peripherals…
Mouse and Keyboard: If you play shooters, the mouse you select will be more important than your keyboard. The opposite is true if you play MOBAs, MMOs, or strategy games.
Operating System (OS): We recommend Windows 10 if it’s within your budget, as earlier Windows OSes are quickly losing support. If you can’t afford it right now, go with a Linux distribution.
Fans: Keeping your system cool takes fans, so pick up some extra case fans to be safe. These improve the air flow and keep your hardware cool, but perhaps even more importantly, they reduce noise coming from the computer.
Gaming Monitors
- Choose 1080p 60hz for builds up to $500.
- Choose 1080p 144hz or 1440p 60hz for builds up to $800.
- Choose 1440p 144/240hz or 4K 60hz for builds up to and over $1000.
