Best Gaming PC Build Under Rs. 50,000 for Playing PUBG and Fortnite: December 2019

Building a 1080p gaming PC these days is one of the more interesting challenges. You’ve got ample options in both the CPU as well as the GPU space, but depending on your target resolution and frame rates, it’s crucial that you opt for the right parts. In this post, we’ll put together a gaming PC, best suited for playing at 1080p with up to 100 FPS.

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

Price: Rs. 11,199 (Link)

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 3500 was launched quietly in the Asia Pacific region a while back for the DIY market and as an OEM part in the ROW. We’re not sure why it wasn’t made widely available but as per the select few reviews we’ve seen, it’s a decent chip. It beats the Core i5-9400F in pretty much every workload from gaming to content creation making it the go-to chip for budget 1080p gamers.

Recommended Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX 1660

Price: Rs. 15,899 (Link)

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

We’d normally recommend the GTX 1660 Super but the 1660 is presently selling for an excellent price of 15.9K. Plus, the faster memory is more useful if you’re going to game at 1440p. At 1080p, the 1660 will be more than sufficient.

Best Motherboard for Ryzen 5 3500: Gigabyte B450M DS3H

Price: Rs. 5,800 (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
Storage	4 x SATA 6Gb/s ports, 1 x M.2
USB Slots	6 x USB 3.2, 8 x USB 2.0

The MSI B450M Pro-VDH Max is one of the most economical B450 motherboards you’ll find out there. With support for up to 64GB of 3466MHz memory, it ensures that your 3rd Gen Ryzen processor isn’t held back by the B450 chipset or memory.

Recommended Memory: Adata XPG Gammix D10 8GBx2 @ 3200MHz

Price: Rs. 5,999 (Link)

Adata’s XPG memory modules are the most economical. Instead of going for a more expensive kit that’ll cost as much as your CPU, this 3200MHz dual-channel config will serve you just fine. To get the most out of it, you can always overclock it.

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: Corsair 175R RGB

Price: Rs. 3,399 (Link)

For the case, it largely comes down to preferences. There are tons of options nowadays with gorgeous cases from Antec, Corsair, Cooler Master, Thermaltake, NZXT and even Circle. For this build, we’re suggesting the Corsair 175R which provides a good balance between RGB and practicality.

Storage

• SSD: Adata Ultimate SU650 480GB M.2
• Price: Rs. 4,199 (Link)

Since we have some moolah to spare, we’ll be investing in premium storage options as they can significantly improve your overall experience. This 480GB NVMe SSD will boost your boot times by 5-10 times over traditional magnetic storage while cutting loading times by up to 90%.
