It’s that time of the month again. Even though this month was tough, we managed to get some components together and make them work. Let’s see what PC build this month brings!
Budget Gaming PC
The aim here is to get a reasonable priced PC that has great performance, but it is going to be tricky. The reason for that is the rising in prices of NAND memory, the GPU prices which have not fully stabilised and the low availability of certain CPUs.

Conclusions
So as you can see, at around $1000 you can build a decent PC that will run you most of current games. That is if you have a 1080p display. If you want to game on 2k or 4k, you will have a bad time in most cases, so be careful when following this guide.
