gaming pc / laptop building / buying guide (2020) in various budgets

things needed to build  PC?
  1. Processor (CPU)
  2. Motherboard (MOBO)
  3. Graphic Card (GPU)
  4. Memory (RAM)
  5. Storage (SSD or HDD)
  6. Power Supply Unit (PSU)
  7. PC Case.
Ratio:
If cpu price 100, 20k
Then gpu 50%, 10k
Ram 20%. 8gb ram 4k
SSD 256 gb   4k 30% 50pgb 6k (1 tb hdd+ 256gb SSD)
Motherboard 20% 3-4k₹
Case 20% 3-4k
Mouse & keyboard  5%
100+50+20+30+20+5= 200% + 25%. So our pc build cost 2x on processor price as general rule.
Just refer custom pc build sites to get more ideas.

CPU (processor AMD Ryzen or Intel)

Note: pricing and quality all comes with processor selection.
I3 won’t work with gaming.
at least you start with i5
Amd vs Intel
I3 dual core amd ryzen 3 quad core ni threads
I5 quad core no threads ryzen 4-6 cores/8-12 threads
I7 4-8/8-16 vs ryzen 6-16/12-32(
I9
Numbers Intel
K/X unlocked over clock.
H: high performance graphics
F:no integrated gpu sime faster processing need external gpu.
If:overclocked & no gpu
Laptops
U: ultra low power
M: mobile optimised performance
L: low power
W: work station (editing, except gaming)
T: thermal low power
H: high performance graphics (recommended for gaming laptops while k in desktops)
HK: high performance and unlocked
AMD Processor
Cores/threads
at least 4/8 i5 or amd ryzen 5(i7 /i9 or amd 7, better high performance)
(More power i9,  and thread gipper more use server CPUs xeon series 2 processors in one motherboard)
generation 7,8,9,10 AMD 2 0r 3rd 4th coming.(boost in performance, cores also change)
Letters:  used to identify the purpose of cpu
SKU: within generation more numbers more performance.
Number: higher number more performance.

amd ryzen 3 vs intel i5

Cores /Threads 4 /4  Same
cache : generally high in amd processors and half price than intel. but no integrated graphics.
apus comes in the place when you look for integrated not dedicated. for gaming, editing dedicated gpu better for faster cpu and gpu tasks.
you mat try ryzen 3 200g or ryzen 5 3400g gpu for entry gaming (make sure to check fps & resolution)

Motherboard

Overclock or or not

Case Size: ATX MATX or ITX

RAM & PCIe Slots

Reputable manufactures: Gigabyte, ASUS, MSI, EVGA, and ASRock

 

Processor compatibility

Features
M.2 slot fir nvme protocol or sata 3.
Thunderbolt
Usb 3.0

Graphic card

not less than half of price cpu

ex: processor size 20K then gpu price not lower than 10K INR.

 

  1. 2Gb Graphic card: 720p@60fps and 1080p
  2. 4gb gpu: 1080p@60fps
  3. 6gb:  1440p 2k
  4. 8gb: 4k with VR

 

Intel vs Nvidia vs AMD
Clock speed: compare to other manufacturers.
Google “GTX 1080 ti Benchmarks”. or “AMD Ryzen 5 3400g benchmarks”  “AMD Ryzen 5 3400g benchmarks for  elgato hd60s/pubg “
CUDA Cores/ stream processors shaders /
RAM type at least ddr5
Ram speed/bit rate/ bandwidth
RAM size at least 4gb 8gb for 4k
Generation
Technologies nvenc, vce
Nvidia vs amd radeon
monitor supports AMD FreeSync or Nvidia G-Sync.  Fix refresh rate fps mismatch
budget,Midrange:1080@60fps
High end: 2k vr, premium 4k
TDP:Power usage:
Is it support vr
APU( integrated GPUs)
at least 4core like ryzen 5 3400h vega 11graphuç
1080p@60fps
(27k inr)
AMD Radeon™ RX 5600 XT
GTX 1660 super
Cuda cores 1408, speed 1500 mhz 6gb ddr6 clock 14 gbps.
the fps has to measure by benchmarks.

storage SSD/hdd

for computing SSD storage use hdd
Boot disk must me SSD
Sata SSD 500MB/s, nvme 2-3gb/s
Hdd in sata slot. SSD m.2 slot

RAM

DDR4 higher speed lower power consumption than DDR3
Ddr5 and dd6 only for graphic cards as of now.

Power supply SMPS

Corsair, EVGA, and SeaSonic
calculate wattage need (ex: gpu 105w cpu 65w)

Desktop case

pick a size that matches your motherboard size
Mid tower:
price starts from 1000 Inr

Monitor

  1. FHD 1080p 60hz for any build up to 35K inr.
  2. 2k 1080p 144hz or 1440p 60hz for any build up to 50K.
  3. UHD 4k  1440p 144/240hz or 4K 60hz for any build up to and past 70K.

 

Resolution &fps( refresh rate)

Higher resolution at least fhd but future proof you need to buy 4k or 2k for 5g.
refresh rate at least 120+ to surpass the 60fps.
Has to match with gpu fps to monitor refresh rate.

gaming laptop

Check the processor and graphic card , sdd
and compare with desktop
gaming laptops always 2x higher price & half performance of the desktops (due small components &heat production)
No more customisation or upgrade
You can upgrade only gpu,cpu, with limited to same generation also but compatible with interns of adequate heat cooling fir hugher click speed gpu or cpu.
Using external gpu in laptop
thunderbolt is key.(portable)
Pcie m.2 wifi slot at connector , gpu, and power supply to gpu not portable.

Building pc in budget

at least quad core processor required for gaming.
  1. Budget pc build:  25,000 to 50,000

upto 50K suitable for 1080p@60fps

  1. Mid range pc build: 50,000 to 100K

2k with VR

  1. higher pc build: 100k to 400k+

4k

how much quality you want produce

Ex:  1080p 60fps or 1080p 30fps or 720@60fps.
or play 125fps games.
