How to make a Low Budget Future Ready Gaming PC/Rig

Hey Guys! Welcome to A-Tech Officials Blogs today I am gonna tell you the list of suggested PC Hardware to make a Budget Future Ready Gaming PC/Rig under a low budget of Rs.60,000/- or $929.40, I know that this is not a low-budget figure but if you were thinking of making a low budget Future Ready gaming PC then trust me this is the low budget that you have to spend on it and any Future Ready PC can't be made in a budget less then this.

So the term Future Ready means it will support 4k resolution up to a certain limit and it will also support OpenGL 4.5 and DirectX 12.

**The main limitation of this PC as a Future Ready PC is that it doesn't support VR technology So you can't use VR with this PC/Rig.

List of Best PC Hardware required to make this Built/Rig/PC

1. Motherboard

Gaming Motherboard

So for the motherboard, I will suggest the ASUS B250F Strix Series motherboard which is a 7th generation motherboard that will support all the Intel 7th generation processors. This motherboard is designed for gaming/gamers in mind and comes with Aura Sync RGB LEDs on board which can be controlled by software provided by ASUS. Which is known as "Aura" and with Aura RGB Headers which can be used to add additional RGB LED strips to your gaming PC/Rig.

This motherboard also comes with some awesome features

like It has the ASUS SupremeFX audio which delivers crystal clear sound of 120db. It also has Dual onboard M.2 slots and has PCIe Express 3.0 x16 slot both of which give speeds up to 32GB/s.It also features the very latest Intel Ethernet (I219-V) for faster, smoother gaming. It also comes with 2 USB 3.0 ports which can deliver transfer speed up to 5Gb/s and 1 USB 3.1 (Type A + Type C) port which delivers transfer speed up to 10Gb/s. So now you perform COPY/PASTE/MOVE/CUT

operations very quickly. This motherboard supports RAM up to 64Gb DDR4 2400/2133MHz and it has 4 x DIMM DDR4 slots with dual-channel Support XMP. Its 3D printed parts support makes it look cool and makes customization easy because this motherboard also has mounts to fit user-created custom-designed 3D printed parts. This Motherboard is VR Ready/compatible which means now we connect VR's like HTC Vive and Oculus Rift etc.

2. Processor

Processor

So for Processor, I will recommend the Intel Core i5 7400 7th Generation Processor because it performs quite very well and can help you in performing several tasks quickly. It has 4 Cores and 4 Threads. Its Base Frequency is 3.00GHz and can be turbo-boosted up to 3.50GHz. It has a Smart Cache of 6MB. It also comes with Intel HD Graphics 630. This processor is also VR-ready but because of our current PC configuration, the VR Support will not be available/possible**.

3. RAM/DIMM

RAM

Selecting a RAM/DIMM may be a debatable topic because everybody has their own opinion about different companies/brands. I will suggest you the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16Gb DDR4 2400MHz RAM. You can select any other brand's RAM/DIMM but make sure it is a DDR4 RAM [2400MHz/2133MHz] and it should not be less than 16GB because using a RAM with less than 16GB of capacity will not give you the desired performance.

4. HDD [Hard Disk Drive]

Hard Disk Drive

So for a storage device, I have used an HDD [Hard Disk Drive] because it is cheaper than an SSD [Solid State Drive] and it will solve our purpose. But you can use an SSD also.

I will suggest the Western Digital Blue 1TB Internal HDD (SATA) [7200 rpm].

5. PSU [Power Supply Unit]

Power Supply Unit

Again selecting a PSU [Power Supply Unit] is also a Debatable Topic because everybody has different opinions about different companies and products. I will suggest you the Corsair VS550 550Watts PSU[Power Supply Unit]. This PSU is suitable for our Graphic Card.

6. Graphics Card

Graphics Card

Now for the Graphics Card, I will recommend the Zotac Nvidia GTX1050 mini 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card. I have selected this Graphics Card Because of its ability to provide awesome performance at such a low price/cost. Although its VRAM is only 2GB it supports 4K resolution up to 7680x4320@60Hz [Digital] and also supports DirectX12, OpenGl 4.5, and PCIe 3.0 which leads to a memory speed of 7GB/s. Its Base Clock frequency is 1354 MHz which can be boosted up to 1455 MHz. So in conclusion this graphics card delivers insane performance in such a compact size that fits in almost every cabinet.

7. PC Cabinet/Case

PC Cabinet Black

PC Cabinet White

To keep all our PC hardware Safe and together we will require a PC Case/Cabinet.

So for the PC Case/Cabinet, I will suggest the Circle EPIC Gaming Cabinet/Case. So this PC Case is only designed for gamers as it comes with 2-120MM LED Fans. One mounted on the front and one at the Back. It has 7-Expansion Slots, 3-External 3.5 inch Drive Bays, 3-External 5.25 inch Drive Bays, 3-Internal 3.5 inch Drive Bays, and 3-2.5 inch SSD Slots. It also provides 2-Front HD Audio Ports, 1-Front USB 2.0 Ports, and 1-Front USB 3.0 Ports.

It is compatible with ATX and micro ATX motherboards.

It comes in 2 different colors:- Black color with Red LED Fans and White with Blue LED Fans.
