From budget-level gaming PC builds all the way up to high-end builds, this page contains all of the custom gaming PC builds that I’ve put together – builds that thousands upon thousands of gamers much like yourself are using right now! We just updated this in July 2020 so that everyone who needs to game during quarantine can get access to great builds.

Whether you’re just coming to PC gaming from console, or you’re just looking to upgrade, there will definitely be a build for you somewhere on this page. Before going for the most expensive build you can afford, consider 2 things: the types of games you play, and the quality level/resolution you want to game at – these 2 points are going to dictate what level of build you need.
If you’re only going to be playing DOTA2 or League of Legends in 1080p, then you definitely don’t need a PC like my $1500 build, something more like the $500 build would work great in that instance. On the other hand, if you wanted to play AAA games like The Witcher 3 in 4k, then the $1500 would be a good choice. But, my guess is that this build is more what you’re looking for.
All of the builds listed below come with the basic components you’re going to need to get up and running, including:

Case
Motherboard
Processor + heatsink/cooler
Graphics card
RAM
Storage
Power supply

With that in mind, to have a fully functional gaming PC you’re still going to need some extras, like a keyboard, mouse, some kind of audio, a monitor and an operating system as these are not included in the builds.
If you have none of those peripherals, consider that you will need roughly $300-$450 extra to get everything you need, it could be less or it could be more depending on what you choose to get. Each build has their own suggested peripherals that have been hand-picked for that specific budget-level.
If this is the first time you’ve built your own PC, then you’re definitely going to want to do a little bit of light reading before jumping in head-first. Putting a PC together isn’t too complicated, but there are some things you should know before starting. To help ease the process, I’ve put together a quick FAQ as well as a walkthrough on the various components and how you’ll be putting them together.
If you have any questions about any of the builds, feel free to ask me on the page for that build! Or, send me an email using this contact form.

Budget Gaming PC BuildsEntry-level PC gaming

These budget builds are best suited for MOBAs like DOTA2 and LoL, competitive shooters like CS:GO and Overwatch, and 2D/isometric games like Stardew Valley or Terraria, but that doesn’t mean they can’t handle AAA gaming. Anything on this list with a dedicated graphics card is going to be able to play AAA games without many issues. It won’t be perfect, but it’ll still be better than gaming on a console.
* Graphics settings based on 1080p

$350 Ultra-Budget Gaming PC

This ultra-cheap Ryzen 3 2200G-powered PC build is going to surprise you! For right around $350, you can put together a PC capable of 1080p gaming without an issue! It doesn’t even need a graphics card!

$500 Gaming PC Build

Building a gaming PC for $500 should give you console-like performance as long as you don’t expect to push 4K – its slightly different on PC. This build will run any game in 1080p on low-medium settings while getting above-console performance. On higher settings, it’s going to be more “console-like” while having better graphics at the same time.

$550 Gaming PC Build

This particular gaming PC falls in a strange segment. Due to the huge variety of hardware choices at the low end, it falls evenly in between the previous and next builds in terms of performance. The graphics card is slightly stronger than the previous build, but its CPU is slightly less powerful than the next build’s. But, everything else is practically the same.
