How much do I need to spend for a new PC that will play games like PUBG easily?

[Magpie]

Hey guys,

I don't need help building one. Right now, I just want to know how much a decent gaming PC would cost that could play games like PUBG, Rainbow Six: Siege and Insurgency: Sandstorm easily.

I want to know now so that I can start saving up for it. I just need to know how much I need to save up. I would prefer 1080p at least but it would be nice if you guys could tell me prices for both that and cheaper builds as well that could run these games in lower resolutions.

Thanks.

I mean you can play PUBG with a 750 Ti, which is why 750 Ti was the most popular GPU on steam when PUBG was at its prime. It costs around 10k PKR. It will only give you 60 FPS at 1080p low though.
But if you want to get a 1050 Ti, you can get one for about 20k or less used, it should run PUBG at 60 fps with a mixture of medium/high. You could even go with a 970 if your budget allows it.
For the AMD side of things, be on lookout for deals on cards like the R9 290.
The market is really saturated with budget-oriented cards right now so it shouldn't be a problem to find a deal to your liking.

Other than that, you can find some cheap used processor + motherboard deals. I'd say to keep at least 25k other than your GPU budget for the rest of the parts.

Thanks bro. Thing is, I want to buy all those things new, don't want to get in the hassle of 'used' right now.

I'll probably want to play those games in high settings though. Is that possible in a cheaper build?

Wait, so 50k is enough for all of that? I need a good new monitor too.

New cards usually carry a hefty premium, so I'd go for a used one from a trusted seller just for the value. You can't find 750 Ti/290 in new condition (obviously), but a new 1050 Ti should be possible at around 25k.
50k is pretty good for all of your PC internals, you might want to add 5-6k to it for a monitor though. And extra, if you don't have peripherals.

Not at all. A good monitor alone would cost 15k and that too when you want a new one.

So 15k for monitor, at least 14k for the processor. 10k for the motherboard, 9k for the ram.

Considering you want all parts brand new and you can't get a 3rd gen processor/motherboard new.

Add them up and then decide.

Ok thanks. Where should I be buying from in Lahore and would they assemble the computer for me as well?

Yes they will. You can visit Galaxy in Hafeez center. I don't know about others.

Wish I could give you an answer here but most shops overcharge for these. The best way to hunt for parts is probably to look through Facebook marketplaces. Once you have the parts you can have a shop build it for you.

Ok guys, thanks. So I'll try to collect 50-65k before I go o buy it. I probably won't go to Facebook looking for those things though, because it's probably not worth the hassle.

You will need 60k+budget if you want to play at 1080p with new components. Maybe more if you want a nice lcd.

I recently upgraded my pc and got i5 8th gen, mobo, 8gb ram, 2tb hdd and 240 ssd and all this cost me around 67k and no gpu or psu
so u can guess how much u need from this, around 100k with gpu

Buying a PC ready to play will always be more expensive than building one.
Its kind of luxury just strolling into a shop.
