IFE News Network is the one-stop solution for all PC build-related topics and Tech News.
Building a PC on your own is the better and superior solution over buying a pre-built PC. May it be for home use, office use, or for Gaming and streaming.
In this article, our tech experts collaborated best practices to identify the best budget gaming PC components in the year 2020 July. This was done without any compromise in performance for gaming. Well, the performance level depends upon each and everyone’s prospectives and their likings. But IFE News Tech team focused our analysis on 1080P low to high gaming preset on most of the games at 30 to 60 FPS (Frame rate per sec) to give you a smooth gameplay experience. So 720P gaming will be a superior experience in all the latest titles.
This build can be used for production works as well. We have also posted an article on why you should build your PC instead of buying a pre-built one. Feel free to check in this link – Top 5 Reasons to Build your PC in July 2020.
There are 5 major components in PC build which will determine your gaming experience. Starting with your Motherboard, Ram, CPU, GPU, and SMPS. We will go through one by one and let me explain why we have chosen it and the current price tag of each component. Before that, I must tell you beforehand that we have decided to go with the AMD Ryzen as our CPU. We believe in today’s world AMD offers a more cost-effective solution over intel with amazing performance.
1) MotherBoard: A 320M – MSI
A motherboard is the best part of your PC which should not have any compromise. Since this article is focused on Cheapest Gaming PC build in 2020 July, Our focus is the plain credible performance that delivers what it is meant for.
AMD’s AM4 Motherboards are the game changer for budget PC gamers. The architectural design of AM4 motherboards is far superior to previous generation AM3 motherboards architecture offered by AMD.
AM4 also provides a wide range of up-gradability. An Advantage of AM4 is that the next generation Ryzen CPU can be used in the same motherboards. This means the upcoming 3rd generation RYZEN CPU can be used with 300series motherboards.
A-Pro Max – A320M is the low-cost solution from MSI with advantages of Ryzen’s core boost, DDR4 Boost, Turbo M.2 SSD support, and Gen1 super-fast USB 3.2. Like all AM4 motherboards, A320M supports all the generations of Ryzen CPU.
And remember this build is focused on building the cheapest gaming PC. MSI A320M doest not support overclocking like B350 or B 450 motherboards. But you are good to go with the CPU specs of Ryzen with stock cooler provided by them. The cost will be given below.
MSI – A320 = 3900 Rupees (INR)
2) Processor: Ryzen 3 – 3100
The next crucial component for a smoother experience in gaming either be it on 720P or 1080P. CPU plays an important role in this regard. CPU performances mainly depend upon its frequency, Core counts, and multi-threading performance.
There are APUs from AMD’s Ryzen CPUs like Ryzen 3200G which are 4 cores and 4 threads or even cheaper Athlon 3000G which are 2 cores 4 Threads with Vega GPU inbuilt. But our focus of the day is 1080P gaming to reach 60 FPS at preset of low to high.
Hence we will be adding a graphic card we won’t be needing these APU. But if you want a basic 720P 30 FPS gaming experience without GPU? You can buy the above mentioned Ryzen APU processor and save the money for something useful for you. Our build has Ryzen 3 3100. It has 4 cores and a massive 8 thread.
Opening up opportunities for budget gamers and for those who are looking for budget productivity tasks too. In out test Ryzen 3100 outperforms even Intel’s mid-range CPU which is double the price.
Also, an important advantage is the massive 18 MB cache capacity which helps in a stutter-free gaming experience. Worked very well with our MSI A320M motherboard to its full potential. And in some games on par with Ryzen’s midrange 3600 CPU.
RYZEN 3 – 3100 = 8650 Rupees (INR)
3) RAM – Crucial 2*4GB 2666 MHZ
As we have maintained all along there will be no compromise on performance at the level expected for 1080P gaming.
We have chosen 8 Gig Ram for our build for a better gaming experience. Ryzen CPUs perform better with dual RAM and single ram configuration. And faster the ram speeds better the performance.
Since this is the cheapest gaming PC build we have concluded that 2666 MHZ is the sweet spot for this PC. You can upgrade in the future down the line with some configurations. But 8 gig is the bare minimum if you want to play modern gaming titles.
The performance of the rams is smooth and less heat produced. These three combos of the above-mentioned CPU, Motherboard, RAM will work flawlessly without any issues. And keep in mind this is also future proof spec for upcoming gaming titles at-least 3 years or more.
Crucial 2*4GB 2666 MHZ = 3500 Rupees (INR)
4) SMPS – Corsair 80+ Bronze CX550 watt
We recommend spending more on your SMPS which the heart of your system which powers your system.
All components must have enough recommended power supply to work to its fullest. When you game the clocks of your CPU and GPU will spike to its maximum potential so always have a good and reliable power supply.
As our system we build is future proof we have selected the SMPS which has the capacity of at least 550W. Well, You can get away with 450W which will be more than enough for this build but with another 1000 rupees, you have a future proof system.
Corsair 80+ Bronze is power efficient and a sturdy built to supply 550 watts with ease.
5) Graphics Card – Nvidia GTX 1650 Super
GPU of your system will decide the frame rate for ur games by large. Our pick for this built is Nvidia GTX 1650 Super.
This card is magic. Nvidia earlier released GTX 1650 a low end 1080P gaming card with GDDR5 but it was a poor performer in lots of the titles it is meant for.
But as a refresh, Nvidia has released the GTX 1650 Super variant with much faster GDDR6 with a 128-bit memory interface. Which is 50% faster than the GTX 1650.
A massive performance boost. Highly recommended for all budget gamer.
And a budget bonanza with GTX 1650 Super is its Turing architect which allows you to become a live streamer. Nvidia’s NVENC encoder can stream and record your gameplay at the same time without major hinder to your frame rates.
This is our amazing and magical cheapest 1080P Gaming PC build. In which you can game, stream, and record at the same time.
The other components of the build like cabinet, its fans and monitor or keyboards are not discussed as it depends on personal likings.
Cabinets are available from 500 to 2000 in the budget segments. We advise you to pick the one with good airflow. And quite frankly I won’t spend more than 2000 on this build on a cabinet. This should be more than enough.
And regarding the 1080P monitor. 24 inches will be the maximum you can look into. Larger than 24 inches will not be a good idea for 1080p gaming. By far I could spend a quality monitor budget range of around 7000 rupees to 10,000 rupees.
Our components cost us around 35,000 Rupees (INR) plus you can add 15000 for cabinet, keyboard, and monitor you will have a full system in place for a powerful 1080P gaming PC on Budget.
These are our recommendations and the lowest one can go with this budget. Less than this could see lots of compromises have to be made.
For 1080P performance, this will have you future-proofed and more certainly will give you the best 1080 P gaming experience the same or better than usual midrange PC build.
Trust me I have tested this system with my 70,000 Rupees(INR) build like Ryzen 3600 CPU, GTX 1660 Ti, 16 gigs 3200 MHZ ram, etc but this will add at least another 25,000 – 30,000 rupees (INR) which is half the times of the budget of out suggested 1080P Cheapest gaming PC build.
