TECH ALCHEMY : THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE PC BUILDING (#2)
Things To Consider Before Building Your Own Gaming PC
Before Building Or Buying Your Own PC, You Need To Make Sure That You Have A Solid Understanding of Your Needs In Relation To What You Can Actually Afford.
Choosing Your Budget
For playable frame rates in cutting-edge modern games, you’ll want to bump up into the ₹50000-75000 range.
From ₹1,50,000 - ₹2,00,000, you’ll be more than well-equipped for modern titles and you’ll even be able to get into some VR gaming and content creation on the side.
Once you start breaching ₹3,00,000, all the way up to ₹4,00,000 and higher, you’ll find that your returns in actual performance begin to diminish. You’ll only find this extra performance useful if you must have the best of the best, or if you plan on streaming/rendering video daily.
Note: if you decide to purchase a PC rather than building one, remember that it will cost slightly more due to the cost that the PC builder adds on to the price of the build once completed.
Understanding Your Needs
You’re here, so chances are you’re definitely going to be using this PC to play games. That being said...what kind of games will you be playing?
eSports titles are made to run decently on low-end systems and very fast on mid-range to high-end systems. If you’re only interested in these games, you shouldn’t need to spend any more than ₹50,000. This also applies to console emulation and older games.
As we alluded to earlier, cutting-edge modern titles will work best at ₹75,000 and higher. You want immersive gameplay at high framerates, beautiful graphics settings, and you want it to stay that way for at least the next three or four years.
If you fancy yourself a professional gamer, or you want to become one, this is when you start treating your PC as an investment. This is when you pay ₹1,00,000 or more for your PC build, with a CPU beefy enough for the streaming and rendering you’ll be doing on a daily basis.
