Best Custom Gaming PC Under $2000 of 2022

Best Custom Gaming PC Under $2000 of 2022

Best Custom Gaming PC Under $2000 of 2022

We scour the web to find only the best gaming PCs  for a silky-smooth 1080p gaming experience
Admin

Last Updated

You want to spend about $2,000 to assemble the best gaming PC you can. That’s it! This design, out of all the gaming PCs we profiled, delivers the best blend of CPU power, GPU power, and cooling performance. It is incredibly stylish, incredibly quiet, and most importantly, brutally quick. It is “premium” for a reason, after all! Also, notice that this build doesn’t cut corners on the wheels and chassis in order to fit a “large engine.”

We can understand your excited desire to build a gaming beast, but you can only do it if you are knowledgeable about the best parts available. Before even starting the choosing process, there are a few things you need to understand. What kind of parts are you going to purchase?

Market competition is fierce, particularly between Ryzen and Intel CPUs. For the GPUs, Nvidia and AMD are seemingly in a never-ending battle that has had no winner so far. For the time being, we’ll ignore this cat-and-mouse game entirely and focus on the top 4K gaming PCs. It’s also important to note that the best $2000 gaming PC will make sure your system is still future-proof in a few years. I’m overjoyed! Do you? If your money is tight, check out the best $700 gaming PC.

Let’s return to the opening scene for the time being. It’s not just about CPUs and GPUs; the process itself can be fairly difficult.

The price is absurdly high, and you’re hoping to have the best $2000 gaming PC built. Each sturdy component counts toward that.

What do you get for your $2000?

At $2000, you are at the top end of the gaming PC price range, and you can be sure that your new build is jam-packed with high-end capabilities. You also get a robust GPU from Nvidia with unmatched gaming performance in addition to powerful processors. For both designs, we have selected sturdy and dependable motherboard options because, at this price point, you will need a solid motherboard to handle any expansion and overclocking requirements you may have.

Gaming Experience

As previously indicated, our build includes a powerful graphics card. These GPUs are capable of handling whatever game you throw at them, even on ultra settings, in terms of performance! This build will easily support 4K and VR games and supports NVIDIA’s Ray-Tracing technology.

The AMD Ryzen CPU will improve performance for those CPU-intensive games and chores while also making the PC feel incredibly quick and responsive.

Is AMD or Intel better for your build?

For those looking to build a powerful gaming PC in this budget bracket, we recommend our AMD design as the best choice. We observe outstanding CPU performance with both the AMD and Intel configurations for both gaming and regular multitasking. There is simply no better chip for this setup because AMD processors outperform Intel CPUs in the workstation category and AMD is closing the performance gap in single-core applications.

How We Choose And Test Our $2000 Gaming PC?

We have a great deal of experience from years of building computers and guiding friends, family, and readers. All of our build suggestions are based on extensive research, use builds that we have made for work or personal use. Certainly, are built with value and performance in mind. We put in a lot of effort to make sure our builds are updated and effective and provide the lucky reader who is going to build it with good performance.

However, to ensure that all the components we suggest fit into the selected case, work well together, and deliver the highest performance for the price range, we assemble each of our selected PCs from scratch.

We compared the performance of our AMD setups to that of their Intel equivalents and discovered that these CPUs offered greater overall performance at a lower cost. For this reason, we only suggest the AMD version.

We made sure to test it out as well because we know how much some of our readers like overclocking their PCs. You can therefore be assured knowing that this equipment can be pushed past its fundamental limits. But before attempting to over-task your builds, please make sure you are familiar with overclocking.

Best Prebuilt $2000 Gaming PC

A high-end gaming PC can be challenging to build for those who lack skills. The last thing you want to do is install a costly component wrong and break it. We strongly believe that building your own PC is better for you, your games, and, let’s face it, your wallet. We have provided a list of the top custom PC builders on the market today so you can learn more about the organizations that created these prebuilt gaming PCs.

As a result, some consumers choose to purchase a pre-built PC. Here are some prebuilt $2000 gaming pc with comparable specifications:

One of the finest offers right now is the Skytech Shadow II Gaming Computer PC, but act quickly because they’re selling out quickly! It has an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 processor and an RTX 2060 graphics card, which together offer some of the best gaming performance money can buy.

The Ryzen 9 3900X is an excellent processor in many ways. It has 12 cores and 24 threads. The actual processing parts of the CPU are called cores. The CPU can do more tasks simultaneously the more cores it has….

You are aware of the direction you are taking yourself when you chose AMD. One of those processors that will destroy every notion of high-end gaming is the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. With the processor’s 12-core and 24-thread configuration. However, you can quickly advance your system into the multithreading space (the ability of a program or an operating system to process multiple requests at a single time).

Highlighting the fact that the processor competes with every function offered by the Intel i9-9900k (8-cores and 16-threads). The ongoing conflict between AMD and Intel is fueled by a fundamental divergence. The Ryzen 9 3900x might be able to dethrone the Intel Core i9-9900K, but the chance is low.

This cooler is yours without charge! It’s quite common to receive stock coolers with AMD Ryzen 9 3900x processors because manufacturers typically ship the cooler with the chipset.

The cooler, however, has a unique quality. This is RGB. The majority of standard coolers are bad, but here we are. Therefore, AMD has numerous adjustable features, so it has its advantages. Only third-generation AMD chipsets are included with the Wraith Prism Cooler. When you turn on your system, a ring that is lit appears on the cooler. The transparent blades are more aesthetically pleasing due to the wide range of colors in the color spectrum.

Additionally, the cooler is supported by Razer Chroma. Not everything depends on how the cooler seems. By reducing the fan’s profile, you may maximize the cooler’s performance while maintaining compatibility with the motherboard and RAM.

The heat column is also welcoming. There are no space restrictions when using GPUs and RAM. Not to add that using direct contact heat pipes enables greater heat transmission from the chipset to the cooler, resulting in a threefold reduction in temperature. Additionally,  It was noted that the temperature decreased by about 25 °C, which is an amazing discovery.

    Last Updated

    The selection procedure was fairly straightforward: we looked for the best gaming PC under $500, analyzed their parts and specifications to determine which one was the best and provided the best value for the money, and then we chose that one.

    Anything with specs greater than these while remaining affordable would be a winner. According to our research, the average PC in the sub-$500 price range has 8GB of RAM, at least 256GB of SSD storage, and a stand-alone GPU and CPU.

    A dependable, competent, and performance-driven gaming PC can be had for a reasonable price. Although you won’t be able to play games at 240 frames per second on high or ultra settings, you will still be able to play a wide variety of games at a respectable frame rate and quality.

    But we really wanted to push the envelope in our search for an affordable gaming computer.  So we went on a hunt to find the best gaming PC under $500.

    $500 GAMING PC BUILD!

    What do you get for a $500 gaming pc?

    As you might expect, it wasn’t easy to put together the best custom PC build for under $500. To get the most performance out of this build, several sacrifices had to be made along the way. Prior to the GPU shortages, it could have been possible to find a decent dedicated card in this price bracket, but today we must make do with integrated graphics for beginner builders. Although there isn’t much of a speed difference between the $400 and $500 builds, the $500 build features better RAM and a more robust storage solution.

    Another area of compromise was the case. Although the case may not be the best, it is still a reasonable price for the components, and we wanted to pick one that would be user-friendly for beginners to build with.

    Gaming Performance

    The $500 AMD-based solution should be able to play a few AAA games at 1080p/60FPS on lower settings. There are several entry-level possibilities available to you due to this APU’s ability to play many well-known esports games.

    The 16GB of RAM, which is a good quantity for gaming, and the SSD storage device have improved performance. You can anticipate quick Windows and game startup speeds as well as some RAM future-proofing.

    AMD Vs Intel

    The AMD APU is used in the gaming PC under $500 design. The APU provides performance in most games when playing at 1080p or lower because it is essentially a CPU and GPU combined. Some games may require you to reduce the graphics settings to play them, but esports games did well in our tests.

    When it comes to integrated graphics, AMD is far superior to Intel, making them the better option for PC designs at the lower end of the scaler.

    How We Select and Examine

    We have a great deal of experience from years of building computers and guiding friends, family, and readers. All of our build suggestions are based on extensive research, use builds that we have made for work or personal use, and most importantly, are built with value and performance in mind. We put in a lot of effort to make sure our builds are updated, and effective, and provide the lucky reader who is going to build it with good performance.

    To ensure that all the components we suggest fit into the selected case, work well together, and deliver the highest performance for the price range, we assemble each of our selected PCs from the scratch.

    We compared the performance of our AMD setups to that of their Intel equivalents and discovered that these CPUs offered greater overall performance at a lower cost. For this reason, we only suggest an AMD version.

    We made sure to test it out as well because we know how much some of our readers like overclocking their PCs. You can therefore be assured knowing that this equipment can be pushed past its fundamental limits. But before attempting to over-task your builds, please make sure you are familiar with overclocking.

    Buying a Prebuilt gaming PC vs Building your own gaming PC under $500

    While purchasing a prebuilt PC as opposed to making one yourself is undoubtedly more convenient. The truth is that you won’t pay a lot for the best components. This is so that you don’t only pay for the brand; you also pay for assembly.

    Best Prebuilt Gaming PC under $500

    Now that you’ve read thus far, you might be wondering whether it wouldn’t be simpler to purchase a prebuilt gaming PC under $500 instead of undertaking all this PC-building crap. And the short answer is probably yes.

    The problem with a prebuilt is that, as many people are already aware, you pay a premium for the convenience of not having to put the parts together yourself. Therefore, in an ideal world, you would want to create your budget gaming computer to save money (or get better value for your hard-earned cash). Here are our best prebuilt options for gaming PC under $500 for individuals who are uncomfortable even trying to make their own.

    Pros

    ➕ fast and powerful, especially considering the price

    ➕ Overclocking automatically

    ➕ Comes packaged with a cooler

    Cons

    ➖ needs a better cooling system for prolonged, intense gaming sessions

    The Ryzen 5 2600 is an excellent processor in many ways. It has six cores and twelve threads. The actual processing parts of the CPU are called cores. The CPU can do more tasks simultaneously the more cores it has.

    With 6 cores, you have more than enough computing capacity to operate video editing software and other demanding apps.

    But what are threads? Modern CPUs like the Ryzen 5 2600 use a technology called hyper-threading, which divides each core into two virtual cores called “threads”. As a result, the processor’s capacity to handle more tasks at once is increased. One of the primary factors in my decision to go with AMD was the lack of hyper-threading in Intel processors at this price point.

    AMD SenseMI technology, found in the Ryzen 5 2600, automatically increases the processor’s clock speed. This means that to get the processor to operate at its maximum speed, you do not need to manually overclock it. Although you’ll have to adjust the resolution, this processor’s boost clock speed of 3.9 GHz is more than enough for some of the latest Triple-A games, like Doom Eternal.

    You won’t have to waste time looking for a cheap aftermarket cooler because the Ryzen 5 2600 already has AMD’s Wraith Stealth Cooler. However, if you intend to play video games for extended periods, you might want to invest in a better cooling system.

    Cons

    ➖ You’ll probably need to update this motherboard if you intend to switch to a 3rd generation Ryzen processor in the future.

    With features that can give you an edge in competitive games, as its name suggests, this motherboard is designed with gaming in mind. For instance, the MSI Gaming Plus includes a dedicated gaming port where you can plug in any high-end gaming peripheral and instantly adjust its settings. Additionally, you receive software called “Mouse Master” that enables you to change options like the polling rate and DPI and create hotkeys for frequently performed tasks.

    The MSI App Player, voice boost, and one-second overclocking features are also included with this motherboard, which should work well with the Ryzen’s SenseMI.

    Steel-reinforced PCIe slots, which are where you put your graphics card, are among the features the Gaming Plus is fitted with. Because of how strong these stool slots are, your card won’t sag over time.

    This motherboard has a very good cooling system, with 6 fans that you can control in the BIOS. The temperature is constantly monitored and fan speeds are adjusted in real-time by the included “Hysteresis” software.

    Many component slots are included with the MSI Gaming Plus, including 4 DIMM slots that can accommodate up to 64GB of RAM, 2 PCIe x16 slots (so you can add another graphics card and an M.2 SSD), and 6 SATA storage slots.

    ➕ Low-profile design

    ➕ Does require an additional power supply

    Cons

    ➖ 4K not supported

    The MSI R7 240 is best suited for mid-tier games because it contains 2GB of GDDR3 V-RAM. I advise you to check at the XFX RX 570 if you have a little additional cash to spend and want a 4GB graphics card.

    The MSI Afterburner, a simple-to-use interface for overclocking, is compatible with the R7 240. Both the voltage and the GPU’s clock frequency can be adjusted using the Afterburner. Additionally, you can maintain ideal fan speeds to prevent overheating and excessive noise from the fans.

    The R7 240 is rather low-profile in terms of size, requiring only a PCIe x8 socket (with x16 being the largest size). As a result, it won’t interfere with other motherboard components.

    Pros

    ➕ Small form factor

    ➕ fantastic cooling

    ➕ automated speed optimization

      Cons

      ➖ For some larger games, 8 GB might not be enough

      First of all, due to the Vengeance LPX’s compact form factor, I had no issue installing it alongside the other components on the B450M motherboard.

      XMP 2.0 software is included with this RAM module. Without going into great detail, it basically consists of a technique that will set the RAM module to the fastest, safest speed. By doing this, you can prevent the module from overheating and stuttering. Additionally, the Vengeance LPX is equipped with an aluminium heat spreader that dissipates heat quickly. In this manner, the heat produced is swiftly removed from the inside parts.

      An 8-layer PCB is present in the Corsair Vengeance LPX. A RAM’s quality often increases with the number of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) layers it has. The green boards with memory chips on them are called PCBs. A PCB has traces and circuitry on each layer that enable data to flow back and forth. There is more space between the traces the more layers there are. Less signal interference as the data is transmitted follows from this.

      Overall, the Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB is a very dependable RAM module that can easily handle demanding applications like video games.

      ➕ Suitable Read/Write

      ➕ reputable hardware piece

      Cons

      ➖ If you intend to install multiple games at once, 240GB might not be enough

      One of the greatest solid-state drives I’ve found for gaming PC under $500 is the ADATA SU635 model. That was pretty quick. It can read data at up to 520 MB/s and write data at up to 450 MB/s. As a result, games and other data-intensive software can load very quickly.

      The SU635 uses a protocol known as Single Level Cell (SLC) caching while reading or writing data. SLC caching includes storing one bit of data per cell inside the memory chip, but I won’t bore you with the specifics. This enables the SSD to write data quickly while utilizing little power.

      Low-Density Parity-Check, a technology that fixes coding flaws, is included with the ADATA SU635. It examines the code in your data, finds any inconsistencies, and then fixes them. By doing this, you can prevent data corruption.

      Last but not least, ADATA’s SSD Toolbox and Migration Utility are included with the SU635. This software facilitates the transition from HDD to SDD and aids in monitoring the drive’s health. It enables you to transfer your operating system and a safe backup of your data to an SSD.

      Pros

      ➕ All motherboard form factors are compatible

      ➕ sufficient spaces for future additions

      ➕ Large graphics cards are supported

      ➕ Mesh ventilation.

      Cons

      ➖ I/O is a bit limited

      For gamers, the Cougar MX330 is perfect. First off, it has 7 PCI slots, so you can install all of your necessary components and then some. It can accommodate graphics cards up to 350mm in length, so I could even place a really huge one like my NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2080 in there. Therefore, it has enough space for the MSI AMD Radeon R7240.

      The transparent glass window on the side of the MX330 makes it simple to reach in and rearrange items once everything is set up inside. Additionally, you may now flaunt your fancy equipment and cable management skills.

      The MX330 allows you to update for greater thermals in the future by supporting up to five fans and a radiator. For now, the AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler with the MX330’s front face wire mesh ventilation should be sufficient for casual gaming.

      Four USB ports—two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0—along with a microphone and an audio jack are included in this case, which also has respectable I/O. I’d advise getting a good USB hub if you want to connect a lot of gaming accessories. However, that will increase the final cost over $500.

      Pros

      ➕ solid design

      ➕ Fairly decent effectiveness

      ➕ Protection against shortages and surges

      ➕ Quiet fan.

      Cons

      ➖ Fits only ATX cases

      Many low-cost power sources in the 400-500W range are currently unavailable, and some are more expensive than they once were. Although Apevia power supplies are inexpensive, if you get a 400-500W PSU, they are unreliable and quickly become hot. The TT Smart 430W is certified at 80 Plus, which translates to greater than 80% power efficiency, and it comes with a 5-year warranty.

      It will cost you $30 and raise the overall cost of the construction, but Thermaltake’s 430W Smart Power Supply is considerably more dependable and comes with all the connectors needed to power up your components. You won’t need any PCI-E connectors because this construction won’t employ a dedicated graphics card. But since this PSU has two PCI-E 8-pin connectors, you can add a discrete GPU in the future to offer enough power for a budget to the midrange graphics card.

      Things To Consider

      On a small budget finding the best gaming PC is possible. Just finding the ideal one that meets your demands will require much more effort. These gaming PC under $500 will definitely struggle to run the latest AAA games. However, if all you want to do is play some lighter games, these are the perfect gaming PCs for you.

      CPU and GPU

      The best gaming chips will not be found in cheap gaming PCs. Although it is still feasible to play games on them. Simply match the specs to the game performance you desire.

      AMD Ryzen or Athlon processors are great choices for this. Additionally, Intel Core i3 and i5 processors perform admirably. Therefore, you may get a gaming PC for less money. Choose one with integrated graphics since you can always improve later.

      Nvidia GeForce GTX cards are great for improving the visual capabilities of your PC. You might also take into account some affordable AMD Radeons.

      RAM and Storage

      Secondly, a key element in gaming desktops is memory. While less than ideal, 8 gigabytes of RAM should be adequate for the majority of games. With this much RAM, you should be able to achieve a good experience on a gaming PC under $500. However, if you can find one with 16 gigabytes or more, it will be faster when you’re managing multiple workloads.

      You’ll consider yourself lucky if you can get an SSD and an HDD combination when looking for storage options for cheap gaming PCs. However, the majority of these gaming desktops allow you to add an SSD, which will speed up how rapidly your operating system and games load.

      Power Supply and Fan

      The best gaming desktop will accommodate your gadgets with several ports and connectors. Make sure you are getting the connectivity characteristics in particular that you require. This comprises HDMI output displays connected directly into slots next to them, as well as external monitors connected through the GPU (graphics processing unit) connector on the back of the computer or DisplayPort from the front if accessible.

      Gaming PCs don’t usually have the same ports and connectivity options available. Before making any purchases, take a moment to review your specifications and make sure they can support all the devices you intend to connect.

      Make sure the cooling is modern if you want to assemble a productive and potent PC. To keep things going smoothly and without issues down the road, you’ll need both fans and liquid-cooled CPUs for any overclocking purposes or simply want one more option on hand when building out your system design! Your computer can be cooled using fans or liquid-cooled solutions. If you desire greater clock speeds on your CPUs in your initial build, you will need either a fan-based solution or an AIO cooler.

      Performance and Upgradability

      Performance is closely related to the hardware configuration people choose when creating their custom setups; some will require more horsepower than others depending on how demanding particular games might get (particularly when graphics card processing speeds come into play).

      There will undoubtedly be a good upgrade path for the best gaming pc under $500. The majority of these are packaged in ATX cases, giving you plenty of space for upgrades.

      Space for a dedicated graphics card is the first thing you should search for because it will improve your gaming performance right away. Then you should look into additional storage slots so you may add a large-capacity HDD and store all of your games and stuff.

      Conclusion

      So, finally, you’ve arrived at the section in this article that hosts a whole bunch of helpful building tips if you’re a beginner builder.

      We created a tutorial to help beginners avoid the many mistakes they frequently make when creating a PC (it’s just a natural part of learning). You need to find the perfect instructions to construct your gaming PC under $500 effectively so that you can do it quickly and accurately.

      Building a cheap $300 gaming setup with a graphics card is really challenging because the price of entry-level GPUs is much more than it should be. This forces us to use hardware that is less expensive without significantly sacrificing performance and thanks to AMD’s great selection of APUs, we were able to do it while still getting a respectable entry-level performance. The AMD 3200G entry-level APU serves as the core of this setup. It has Vega 8 graphics, which are surprisingly effective at handling less demanding titles like CS: GO and Fortnite. We try our best to give you the best options you can afford for less money. The Cheap $300 Gaming setup has satisfied many gamers’ needs without breaking the bank.

      The list of suggested PC components that will enable you to build one of the top cheap $300 gaming setup in 2022 is provided below. Read each section to learn why I selected each component and what to expect from this build.

      How We Select and Examine

      We have a great deal of experience from years of building computers and guiding friends, family, and readers. All of our build suggestions are based on extensive research, use builds that we have made for work or personal use, and most importantly, are built with value and performance in mind. We put in a lot of effort to make sure our builds are updated, and effective, and provide the lucky reader who is going to build it with good performance.

      To ensure that all the components we suggest fit into the selected case, work well together, and deliver the highest performance for the price range, we assemble each of our selected PCs from the scratch.

      We compared the performance of our AMD setups to that of their Intel equivalents and discovered that these CPUs offered greater overall performance at a lower cost. For this reason, we only suggest an AMD version.

      We made sure to test it out as well because we know how much some of our readers like overclocking their PCs. You can therefore be assured knowing that this equipment can be pushed past its fundamental limits. But before attempting to over-task your builds, please make sure you are familiar with overclocking.

      What do you get for a cheap $300 gaming setup?

      Making an affordable gaming PC that could run AAA titles was one of the key objectives of the $300 custom build. You’ll agree that it’s not a simple process. But by choosing their entry-level APU, the 3200G, we were able to accomplish this aim because of AMD’s APU range’s exceptional value.

      The 3200G was about the only APU we could choose from while staying inside our budget, but that wasn’t always a bad thing. By choosing an APU, we were relieved of the burden of worrying about the price of a standalone GPU. This suggests that we could improve this build’s RAM and other components.

      Gaming Performance

       If you want to play AAA games at 4K or ultra settings, you won’t be purchasing this build. This build is designed to perform well in low-demand games like CS: GO, Fortnite, and Overwatch. On low-medium settings, the APU ought to be able to provide 60+ frames per second in these games.

      AMD APUs

      For those who are unsure, an APU is a processor unit that is accelerated and has built-in graphics. An AMD APU has far more potent VEGA graphics than an Intel CPU does. The 3200G has VEGA 8 graphics that are comparable to a GT 1030 in terms of performance. Not bad, then.

      When in use, an APU’s integrated graphics are entirely dependent on the RAM in your computer. Because of this, having fast RAM in your build is crucial if you want to get the most out of your APU.

      What Games Can This Cheap $300 Gaming Setup Run?

      In order to play more demanding games with 60FPS and above, you would need to look at the $600 gaming setup, which will give you 60FPS in all competitive online games. Additionally, you would be able to increase the graphical settings and resolution in all games with the dedicated graphics card and a more potent CPU. In comparison, well-optimized games like Forza Horizon 4 allow for 50FPS at 1080p and still look fantastic even on very low graphics settings, whereas demanding single-player games like The Witcher 3 would only offer 30FPS at 900p.

      Most games may be played at lower settings on a 1080P monitor with Ryzen 3 3200G processors. However, the following list provides a clearer understanding of what this technology is capable of:

      Run eSports games at 50–60 frames per second on medium or higher settings (Dota 2, League of Legends, Overwatch, etc.).

      Run AAA games at 30 frames per second or less on low settings, such as Middle Earth: Shadow of War and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

      The 3200G will work for you if you mostly play competitive eSports games that aren’t particularly taxing. The 3200G will be able to play AAA games at lower settings, but you shouldn’t anticipate getting a great framerate at 1080P—although lowering the resolution of your monitor should help there as well.

      Our Recommended Cheap $300 Prebuilt Gaming Setup

      Now that you’ve read this far, you could have come to the conclusion that you’re not quite ready to start custom PC building. That’s fine too! We searched the internet for suitable prebuilt gaming PC alternatives that will provide the same performance as our custom build for those people.

      We verify on a weekly basis that our prebuilt recommendations align with our bespoke build. If a more potent prebuilt option becomes available or the present one runs out of stock, a comparable product will be used in its place.

      The prebuilt PC options listed below come as near to custom builds as possible in terms of price and performance. Be mindful, nevertheless, that choosing a prebuilt cost more money.

      Cons

      ➖ No multi-threading support.

      ➖ Vega 8 graphics have fewer compute units than Ryzen 5 alternative does.

       

      For practically any low-cost PC design, there are many CPU options available, with prices ranging from cheap $300 gaming setup to $600 gaming setup and more. You may always choose AMD’s Ryzen 3 3200G APU if your budget is exceedingly limited and you don’t have enough to include a respectable processor and graphics card combination in your build. Because the 3200G integrates a strong CPU and GPU on one chip, you can avoid the expense of a separate graphics card. The 3200G will at least be able to tide you over until you have the money to upgrade, even though its performance won’t compare to any of the options above in terms of CPU power.

      Most of today’s top games may be played on lower settings or at least with the 3200G. In fact, you can construct an entry-level gaming PC with a Ryzen 3 3200G for about $300, which would enable you to play games like Rocket League and League of Legends without any issues.

      So even if you’re on a tight budget, the 3200G gives you the option to create a starter gaming setup right now.

      AMD Vega 8 (iGPU)

      Shop on Amazon

      How to review >

      This processor’s integrated graphics unit (Vega 8 iGPU), which is comparable to the NVidia GeForce GTX 745 ($95), is one of its strongest features. Additionally, AMD’s built-in graphics are now the quickest ever! You may easily play on medium or even high settings in well-known titles like Overwatch, League of Legends, and CSGO.

      We’ll use the integrated GPU in the Ryzen 3 3600G processor in place of a separate GPU. The total cost rises to $400 if we utilize a competent discrete GPU because the current state of budget GPUs makes it impossible to get one for $100 or less. On the other hand, the Vega 7 integrated within the 5600G’s CPU offers a respectable performance at 1080p resolution. The majority of games should run at low to medium settings with an average frame rate of 40.

      A definite suggestion for anyone who doesn’t want to sacrifice performance over budget is that no other processor at this price gives so high performance with such a fantastic overall package!

      Pros

      ➕ one of the affordable motherboard heatsinks on top of the VRM circuit.

      ➕ overheating issues would not face with it.

      ➕ B450 chipset combined with 4 x ram slots, and two graphics card slots bring this board the best price-performance B450 title

      Cons

      ➖ if you want to use a power-demanding processor, then check out other tougher motherboards

      The Gigabyte B450M DS3H motherboard, despite being on a severely low budget, is an excellent match for the Ryzen CPU. The motherboard was compromised in order to fit the strong GPU, but it still has sufficient functionality to finish the construction. This board includes M.2 compatibility, wifi, support for quick RAM, and some space for upcoming expansions and storage upgrades.

      Two full-length PCIe slots are available on this entry-level component; the top slot is PCIe 3.0 x16 and the bottom slot is PCIe 2.0 x4. A single PCIe 2.0 x1 slot is located in between the two full-length slots. AMD CrossFire multi-graphics card configurations are compatible thanks to the two full-length slots, but you should be aware that the B450 chipset does not support NVIDIA SLI. (Constrained PCI bandwidth)

      Four SATA ports make up the majority of the storage system. All of these ports have straight-angled holes, which is both a cost-saving strategy and a reflection of the board’s humble beginnings. RAID 0, 1, and 10 arrays are also supported by the SATA connectors.

      Additionally, there is one PCIe 3.0 x4/SATA M.2 slot that can accommodate up to M.2 22110 (22 x 110 mm) SSDs. The best thing about the GIGABYTE B450M DS3H is its value, which comes without sacrificing key features that are regularly used in most modern personal computers.

      ➕ Competitive performance

      ➕ No RGB

        Cons

        ➖ Some Gamers want RGB

        We selected a single 8GB DDR4 memory stick as our RAM. We chose a single stick of RAM rather than a 2x4GB kit to use dual channel memory for two reasons: Firstly, it costs less than the least expensive 2x4GB of DDR4 memory. Secondly, it will make it much simpler to add a second stick of RAM.

        The truth is that, for gaming, dual-channel configurations typically don’t offer a significant performance advantage when compared to single-channel configurations, despite what you may have been told: running your RAM in dual-channel configuration will give you more performance than running a single stick of RAM.

        Cons

        ➖ 256 GB might not be enough

        Going with a mechanical hard disc in 2022 is stupidity unless you can purchase one for a cheap price. The cost of SSDs has significantly decreased in recent years, and you can now get an M.2 SSD that offers extremely fast transfer speeds for the same price as a SATA SSD. The TeamGroup MP33 256GB SLC can temporarily store your operating system, apps, and some of your games. Its read/write speed is 1600/1000MB/s, which is not the fastest, but because it costs only $30, it is a great option for this low-cost setup.

        Things To Consider

        $300 Budget

        Your budget is one of the most important factors to take into account when beginning the process of building a bespoke computer. Many individuals approach us anticipating spending $300 on a custom setup that can dominate 4K games at 100 frames per second. That is regrettably not the case. We specifically created our $300 build to play less demanding competitive games like CS: GO, DOTA 2, and LoL. You’ll end up saving a tonne of time if you know the boundaries of your budget upfront.

        It’s important to note that Amazon’s prices do change frequently. This implies that the builds may not always be below the desired target. But don’t worry, we review the builds every day to make sure the most current and cost-effective products are being chosen.

        Future-proofing and upgradeability

        Future upgrades are a different factor to think about while constructing your own PC. Let’s face it, a computer won’t serve you forever. You will eventually need to update its components. A significant aspect of the hardware selection process is making sure you don’t have too many goods that require updating when that time comes.

        Fortunately, we took care of it for you previously. The motherboard in this design is modern, making it ideal for future upgrades. The casing is a good choice as well since it will support GPU and expanded storage capacity updates.

        Overclocking

        In the past ten years, overclocking has gotten more and more feasible, largely because hardware quality has improved and is now much more conducive to overclocking. It’s a fantastic approach to get more performance for no additional cost.

        If you choose to perform light overclocking, this build will respond. It should be emphasized, though, that Ryzen CPUs are quite well optimized right out of the box. Gaining noticeable performance improvements is most likely a thing of the past right now.

        Building Ease

        Building your own rig from scratch might be intimidating for beginners, especially if the casing isn’t builder-friendly. Make sure the case is the proper size for your components by conducting a thorough study on it. To make the procedure a little bit easier, we used PC building tools for this build and advise you to do the same. An anti-static bracelet, which can be obtained for almost no extra money, is also something to take into account.

        Non-Gaming Performance

        The non-gaming aspect of a PC design is a crucial area to take into account. Many gamers will plan their builds with both gaming and workplace needs in mind. You’ll be pleased to learn that we followed suit.

        This build’s performance with multiple threads makes it capable of handling tasks with a light burden. Simple photo and video editing ought to be more than doable, albeit slowly. You would be better off using one of our premia builds if you wanted to stream.

        Aesthetics

         Aesthetics are always crucial in a custom build because you eventually want your building to appear at its finest. But much like a performance, appearance typically has a direct bearing on construction costs.

        Unfortunately, the aesthetics of PC cases at this end of the spectrum are pretty lacking. There are many stylish cases available; you just need to boost your budget to cover one.

        Best Upgrades For Cheap $300 Gaming Setup

        You need to upgrade some PC components to get better gaming or productivity performance. Even though you might not be able to do this right away, save this post for later use. Most of the components in this PC setup are interchangeable and can be upgraded at any time. If you want to noticeably improve gaming performance, I recommend changing some of the following components.

        The Ryzen 5 5600G is an APU with both CPU and GPU overclocking capabilities. However, using a chipset like the B450, B550, X570, etc. is the only way to achieve this. The B550 is now the most recent and ideal low-cost chipset to pair with Ryzen 5000 APUs. The heatsinks of the MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge Wifi are sufficient for continuous cooling, and the VRM is powerful enough to do vigorous overclocking.

        It includes numerous PCI-E slots for expansion cards and 4x DIMM slots for further RAM upgrades of any capacity. Additionally, you will receive an abundance of USB ports and additional M.2 slots for M.2 SSDs and peripherals, respectively.

        The stock AMD cooler won’t be enough for successful overclocking. Getting an aftermarket CPU cooler will alter everything because the temps will be in the upper 80s or perhaps 90s. A very well-liked single-tower CPU cooler with excellent performance and silent operation is the Noctua NH-U12S. No matter how intensely you game, it employs copper heat pipes and a high-pressure Noctua fan to keep the temperature down.

        Most mid-range to high-end graphics cards can be comfortably handled by Ryzen 5600G. Therefore, if you decide to upgrade to a powerful GPU, you shouldn’t be concerned. To upgrade to a Geforce RTX 3050 8GB GPU, which is as potent as the GTX 1660 Super from the previous Nvidia generation, I do suggest taking into account components like the RAM size and power supply capacity. This will guarantee you receive 60+ frames per second on ultra settings, a significant improvement over Vega 7.

        NZXT H510 Compact ATX Mid Tower PC Gaming Case

        Buy Now

        You must upgrade your PC case first if you opt to switch to a full-ATX form factor motherboard, as I advised. A premium chassis that is constructed of high-quality materials and permits even better airflow from the front panel is the NZXT H510 Flow. It has a full-length PSU shroud to conceal your PSU and anything else inside of it. It will easily accommodate all of your current components as well as any future additions, and cable management will be a snap.

        AOC G2490VX

        Buy Now

        I advise getting a 144Hz display for faster games like CSGO and for a smoother gaming experience. The AOC G2490VX costs $140 but has a 144Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync capability, which you will appreciate because this design uses an AMD graphics card. A 60-75Hz monitor typically costs approximately $100.

        AMD FreeSync eliminates screen tearing during gameplay and synchronizes the refresh rate with the frame rate to eliminate input lag.

        Havit Mechanical Keyboard-Mouse Combo

        Buy Now

        You’ll most likely use a cheap gaming mouse and keyboard set for this build, and you’ll probably spend at least $30 on it. In this price range, a membrane keyboard is most likely what you’ll choose. However, Havit offers a spectacular $35 combo that includes a mechanical keyboard with unique blue switches and a perfect fps mouse.

        The RGB LED backlighting used by the keyboard and mouse can be adjusted using the buttons on each device. If you are an adventure gamer, you will definitely love this RGB LED backlighting. These offer greater dependability than any $30 bundle that includes a keyboard, mouse, mousepad, and headset.

        Conclusion!

        That concludes our in-depth guide to the top $300 custom PC setup. We’ve made an effort to stay as close as possible to the rigorously defined budget limits while still offering a PC that offers an immersive gaming experience. Remember that the graphics in this build won’t blow anyone away. However, it will give beginner players the chance to play less demanding games without spending a fortune.

        There won’t likely be a better alternative for the parts or accessories I suggested for this build that would give you the best value. Although there are numerous options, this construction is the finest one you can get for between $300 and $350. You can leave a remark in the box below if you run into any problems creating your PC or if you have any questions.

        Pros

        ➕ one of the most recent graphics cards from Nvidia

        ➕ fantastic performance in games

        ➕ A strong Ryzen CPU

        ➕ Stylish design that includes tempered glass

        Cons

        ➖ Expensive

        Case Aesthetic and design

        Skytech has created a prebuilt computer that offers outstanding gaming performance and excellent visuals for under $1500. The Shadow 3.0 is stylishly loaded with high-quality parts.

        The amazing AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, an improved version of the 3600, is what drives this machine. With its six cores and twelve threads operating at a base clock speed of 3.6GHz and a maximum boost clock of up to 4.2GHz, this fast CPU has a track record of performance in both CPU-intensive jobs and gaming. The powerful RTX 3060, one of Nvidia’s newest 30-series GPUs supports the CPU. With performance levels comparable to the legendary RTX 2080, the card excels at gaming and makes playing games at high settings a breeze. This version has 16GB of RAM, which is a good amount for gaming and is also reasonably quick.

        This prebuilt includes Wi-Fi, Windows 10, and a 1TB SSD. This design does not include an additional HDD, but 1TB is sufficient. Additionally, this desktop has built-in WiFi, Windows 10 pre-installed with no bloatware, plenty of USB slots, customizable RGB lighting for the fans and accent lighting, and an included keyboard and mouse. The LED button, which is adjacent to the power button on the top of the case, controls the RGB lighting. The lighting can be changed from being fully RGB to cycling through fixed colors, fading, and various effects. There are many different lighting solutions available. You can also turn off all of the lights.

        Gaming Performance

        Any gaming PC’s gaming performance is mostly determined by the strength of its video card and processor working together. Their most powerful model has an RTX 3060 Ti 8GB video card and a Ryzen 3700X CPU. These two pieces of hardware are among the newest ones now available. Since 3000 series cards are becoming increasingly rare, it’s good to see some pre-built choices that can use them with other gear that complements them well.

        A version with the RTX 3060 Ti is what you should definitely consider acquiring if you’re looking for a gaming system that can handle games like Cyberpunk 2077, Warzone, Apex Legends, or Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla at full settings with RTX enabled while still being able to manage well over 100+ FPS.

        There are a few Shadow 3.0 variants that support a GTX 1660 Ti and either a Ryzen 3600 or a Ryzen 2700. Although 1660 will provide you with respectable performance levels, it is in no way comparable to the 3060 Ti. Depending on the desktop version you choose, the Skytech Shadow 3.0 PC’s performance level will vary. A 3060 Ti will be able to deliver about twice as much, and occasionally even close to three times as much, gaming performance as 1660.

        A 1660 6GB card will typically enable you to achieve an average frame rate of 60 FPS with some graphical settings changed, whilst a 3060 Ti would typically enable an average frame rate of 120+ in most games at 1080p. Therefore, you need to know what kind of gaming performance you want from this PC before deciding which version to go with. A version of the Shadow 3.0 desktop that contains the 3060 Ti is the one you should choose if you want the finest of the best.

        You should also determine if you have any interest in 1440p gaming. 1660 can play 1440p games at 60 frames per second, but a 3060 Ti can play 1440p games at 1440p with ease.

        ➕ contains robust gaming components

        ➕ includes Windows 10

        ➕ SSD storage of 1 TB

        ➕ AC Wi-Fi

        Cons

        ➖ a little bit over budget

        Case Aesthetic and design

        The Skytech Blaze 3.0 appears to be housed inside an In-Win 101 chassis that has an antique PSU shroud placed at the top. Thermals shouldn’t be an issue because neither the RX 6600 XT nor the 10400 consume a lot of power. Additionally, the case has a side intake that is protected by two RGB case fans, which ought to somewhat increase ventilation.

        Gaming Performance

        If your $1500 budget covers both a PC and a monitor, the RX 6600XT-powered Skytech Blaze is the best gaming desktop you can get if you’re not interested in ray tracing and DLSS. High refresh rate 1080p and 60 frames per second 1440p gaming are both excellent on the RX 6600 XT. Despite the resolution, esports games will naturally operate at substantially higher framerates. This Core i5-10400 is another quick gaming PC that won’t win any prizes, but it pairs well with the RX 6600 XT. It has the same six-core/12-thread architecture as the 5600G and is roughly as fast. The remaining components of the kit are a 1TB NVMe SSD and 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 3200 RAM.

        Cons

        ➖ Support is not so easy to get

        Case Aesthetic and design

        You’re looking at the best Nvidia GPU-equipped prebuilt gaming PC for under $1500. All things considered, you get a lot of gaming performance for your money here. The Skytech Shiva delivers an RTX 3070 along with a Ryzen 5 5600X for just under $1500, which is a fantastic deal.

        You have 1 TB SSD and 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 3200 RAM available for use as memory and storage. Not bad and a typical product in this industry. Once more, we’re looking at a glass-fronted case that won’t do much for your thermals. You should be alright given that neither the GPU nor the CPU are power hogs. However, if you experience excessive thermals, you should either replace the CPU cooler or the entire case if both the GPU and CPU register temperatures are too high.

        Gaming Performance

        The RTX 3070 is more than adequate for 60 fps at 1440p in the most recent AAA games and is ideal for 1080p gaming. The card is paired with the powerful gaming CPU Ryzen 5 5600X, which can compete with CPUs like the 11600K, 10400F, and 11400F. To put it another way, the 5600X is an excellent CPU for the money. If you decide to replace the GPU in a few years, it’s also quick enough to run several graphics cards. To put it another way, the 5600X is an excellent CPU for the money.
