Contrary to popular belief, building a 1080p gaming build is quite easy. If you’re aiming for “just playable” FHD, then you don’t need more than Rs. 30K. For 1080p 60FPS in every title, it’s best to invest in a 50K build, but if you are okay with dropping some settings, 60 FPS is achievable even with a 30K build.
Best Budget CPU for Gaming: Intel Core i3-9100F
Price: Rs. 6,150 (Link)
| Cores / Threads | Base Clock | Boost Clock | L3 Cache | TDP | Memory Support |
| 4/4 | 3.6GHz | 4.2GHz | 6MB | 65W | Dual DDR4-2400MHz |
The Core i3-9100F is undoubtedly the best gaming CPU under the 10K mark. With a TDP of 65W, it packs four cores running at an impressive 4.20GHz. It includes 6MB of L3 cache and support for dual-channel DDR4 RAM (rated at 2400MHz). It’s faster than the 6th and 7th Gen Core i7 processors (just to give you an idea).
Best Budget Graphics Card for 1080p Gaming: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB
Price: Rs. 10,850 (Link)
| Memory | 4GB GDDR5 |
| Boost Clock | 1665MHz |
| Cores | 896 |
| Mem. Clock | 8Gbps |
| Bus Width | 128-bit |
| PSU | 300W |
| Dimensions | 160×116 (mm) |
| Connectors | NA |
| Warranty | 3 Years |
It’s really hard to find a Radeon RX 570 at a decent price at the moment. However, if you do manage to find one under the 11K mark, JUST BUY IT! If not, well then like the rest of us, I’ll be recommending the GeForce GTX 1650. Granted it’s slightly slower than the 570 but it works well for 1080p gaming and has an incredibly low TDP of 75W.
Best Motherboard for the Core i3-9100F: Asus Prime H310M
Price: Rs. 4,399 (Link)
| CPU | Intel 8th and 9th Gen (mini-ITX) |
| RAM | 2 x DDR4 memory slots, supports up to 32GB @ 2666 MHz |
| PCIe | 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, 1 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots |
| Storage | 4 x SATA 6Gb/s ports |
The ASUS Prime H310M is one of the cheapest Coffee Lake compatible motherboards, but considering that we’re opting for an i3 that can’t be overclocked, it’s quite viable. It comes with two DDR4 RAM DIMMs, one PCIe x16 lane and four SATA slots. You won’t be getting any M.2 slots here though nor any RGB.
Best RAM for Core i3-9100F: Adata XPG Gammix D30 8GB DDR4
Price: Rs. 2,900 (Link)
Intel’s Coffee Lake chips aren’t sensitive to memory so we’ll be opting for an 8GB 2666MHz stick. Regardless, as the mobo doesn’t support higher frequencies, it’s pointless to go for expensive models. You can easily add a second 8GB DIMM later on for dual-channel support but for now, this will be enough.
Recommended PSU: Cooler Master MWE 450 230V
Price: Rs. 2,485 (Link)
Cooler Master’s MWE 450W retails for Rs. 2,485. It’s really compact and features decent components. For a low-end build, there’s no need to go for a Bronze rated or modular PSU. It’s just not worth it.
PC Case: Antec VSK 4000B
Price: Rs. 2,200 (Link)
At this budget, we’ll have to accept the fact that a fancy cabinet is out of reach. Sure, you can upgrade later on but at the moment we’ll have to forgo all those shiny tempered glass panels and RGB lighting. The Antec VSK 4000B costs just over two thousand but still doesn’t look like trash. Possibly the best low-end PC cabinet.
Storage: Adata Ultimate SU630 240GB
Price: Rs. 2,150 (Link)
It’s better to go with a smaller SSD rather than opting for a slow HDD. If you can afford it, it’s best to go with a 240GB SSD and a 2TB HDD. But if you can’t afford both, then the former is the priority.
Summary: Best Gaming PC Build Under Rs. 30,000:
| Component | Name | Price |
| CPU | Intel Core i3-9100F | Rs. 6,150 |
| Graphics Card | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB | Rs. 10,850 |
| Motherboard | Asus Prime H310M | Rs. 4,399 |
| Memory | Adata XPG D30 8GB @ 2666MHz | Rs. 2,900 |
| SSD | Adata Ultimate SU630 240GB | Rs 2,150 |
| Power Supply | Cooler Master MWE 450 230V | Rs. 2,485 |
| Case | Antec VSK 4000B | Rs. 2,200 |
| Total | Rs. 31,134 |
Why not RX570
That’s also fine. But keep in mind, it costs more and draws way more power
What if I use ryzen 3 3200g and don’t use any graphics card ?
you will get 60fps and above while running any gane at 1080p low settings and btw gtx 1650 is so much better
I guess 1060 3gb is better buy here instead of GTX 1650
Or an rx 570 for much better performance
Vedant computers are selling rx 580 4gb at 11k rs so we should go for it
U can but u will need t upgrade your psu too
Hi, All In One PCs are expensive, is there option to assemble CPU (as per your advice above) and then connect with Monitor using BT or wireless USB device? Aim is to have wireless display
get a BT pcie card and conect it to your motherboard or by a m.2 bt ans put in the m.2 slot
Bro If I am buying RX 570 instead of GTX 1650, do I have to change any other parts mentioned in the post like power supply or motherboard? If so, please tell me.
You can buy antec atom 450w it is also a good amps for 2100rs or buy both amps and cabinet for 4.4k https://www.amazon.in/Antec-NX1145-Tower-Gaming-Cabinet/dp/B07XJ26176/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=antec+atom+smps&qid=1580359392&sr=8-2
In this build can I use instead of the graphics card mentioned, rx550? I just am in a strict budget of 20000rs
Do they have built in WiFi?
if anyone has built this pc, is it worth it and most importantly, does it actually function for gaming?
Did you got the answer for this?
Then you will not get any working gameplay of 30fps and 60 fps
Where is the HDD
yea maan does this pc have no HDD
????
This pc no need of HDD
There is a bottleneck issue with the cpu and gpu as processor is weak for gpu.I expected quality conten from you but its a waste.Also anyone can try it.
Bro there is a SSD. SSD is better as it doesn’t have any moving parts. and its also faster. if you want to you can buy a hard drive as well and store your games on it and put your windows on SSD for faster boot times!
Why there is not any ram ?
There are so many accessories describe in details. this is mos helpful discussions. I’m looking for this type of details.. Thank you.
broooooooooooooooooooooooo
all the prices are fake
You can go for some Mid end gaming…like just cause 2, which can run 40 FPS at med-high settings at 1080p resolution…..
Bro if u want to game have this
its ok but you wont get that much awsome good gaming perfomance with the graphics card provided by the cpu, so a graphics is recommended
No bro this is a old post, and now the price are higher bcoz of the covid19.
