Best Gaming PC Build Under Rs. 45,000 for Playing PUBG and Fortnite at 1080p: Nov 2019

At present, the Battle Royale genre is one of the most popular among PC gamers worldwide. Over the past few years, Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds, Epic’s Fortnite and Blizzard’s Overwatch have been some of the most popular games with the latter even winning multiple Game of the Year awards. In this post, we’ll show you how to build a PC that can run these games at 1080p 100 FPS with all the settings cranked up to ultra. This will be a sub-50K build, so you should be able to run any and every game at 1080p 60 FPS for at least 15-18 months.

Best CPU for Gaming @ 1080p: AMD Ryzen 5 3500

Price: Rs. 11,008 (Link)

Cores/Threads	6/6
Base Clock	3.6GHz
Boost Clock	4.1GHz
Cache	16MB L3
TDP	65W

AMD’s Ryzen 5 3500 based on the Zen 2 architecture is finally here to trade blows with the Intel Core i5-9400F. It beats the Coffee lake i5 in multi-threaded workloads while performing on par or slightly slower in gaming. Courtesy of AMD’s AM4 platform we can save a bit of money on the motherboard and spend it on faster SSD storage.

Best GPU for Gaming @ 1080p Ultra: NVIDIA GTX 1660 6GB

Price: Rs. 16,328 (Link)

Cores	1408
Boost Clock	1800MHz
Memory	6GB GDDR5
Memory Speed	8 Gbps
Bus Width	192-bit

If you are looking to build a gaming PC under the 50K range, then the GeForce GTX 1660 is without a doubt the best graphics card you can buy. It can offer consistent 60+FPS in even the most taxing games, and up to 120 FPS in eSports and shooters.

Best Motherboard for Ryzen 5 3500: MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX

Price: Rs. 6,799 (Link)

• Memory: 4 x DDR4 memory slots, support up to 64GB @ 3866MHz
• PCIe Slots: 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots
• Storage: 4 x SATA 6Gb/s ports, 1 x M.2 slot
• USB Slots: 2 x USB 3.1, 6 x USB 2.0, 4 through internal connectors

Memory	4 x DDR4 memory slots, support up to 64GB @ 3866MHz
PCIe slots	1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
Storage	4 x SATA 6Gb/s ports, 1 x M.2 slot
USB Ports	6 x USB 3.1, 8 x USB 2.0
Audio	Realtek® ALC892
LAN	Realtek® 8111H Gigabit

The MSI B450M VDH Max is one of the most economical motherboards out there for a 3rd Gen Ryzen chip. It supports 64 GB of memory via four memory DIMMS with speeds up to 3866MHz, so you won’t be held back by the RAM. You get four SATA ports, one M.2 and for I/O, six USB 3.2 and eight USB 2.0.

Recommended Memory: Adata XPG Gammix D10 8GBX2 DDR4 3200MHz

Price: Rs. 6,200 (Link)

As always, we’ll be recommending a 3200 MHz kit rather than those insanely expensive 3600MHz ones. The performance gap between the two isn’t enough to warrant that kind of price. Here a comparison if you are still not convinced.

Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE 450W

Price: Rs. 2,450 (Link)

Since this is a sub-50K setup, we won’t be investing in a Gold or Platinum PSU nor a modular one. The Cooler Master MWE 450W is our pick for this system and will provide enough juice to overclock the graphics card if needed. There are other alternatives, but we’ll be recommending the CM MWE as it’s one of the better parts in this price range.

Case: Antec NX200 RGB

Price: Rs. 2,375 (Link)

For this build, we’re suggesting the Antec NX200. It comes at a decent price and also features a hint of RGB.

Storage

• HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200RPM (Rs. 2,849)
• SSD: Adata Ultimate SU630 240GB (Rs. 2,275)
