What Is The Best Cheap Gaming PC?

First of all, when we’re talking cheap gaming PC, you might be talking about a gaming PC under $700, $1000, $1500, or even $2000. After all, the sky is the limit when you’re talking about high end gaming PC hardware. But for the best cheap gaming PC, it’s all about getting the best bang for your buck - you want the maximum return on frames per second, per dollar spent.

With their Ryzen and Core processors, both AMD and Intel offer current-generation processors to meet this need. And when combined with a great range of graphics card options from AMD and NVIDIA, your next cheap gaming PC will be powerful enough to play the latest games at a price everyone can afford.

We offer affordable gaming PC options on both AMD and Intel platforms, with the best value gaming processor and graphics card combinations anywhere in the market.

Browse through our collections of AMD Ryzen desktop PCs and Intel Core gaming desktops with graphics by AMD Radeon or NVIDIA, and you’ll find options to suit any budget gaming PC build, with money left over to upgrade your motherboard, memory, storage and more!

When it comes to processors, the AMD Ryzen 3 and Ryzen 5, or Intel Core i3 and Core i5 are the ideal starting point, providing a power and performance for a gaming PC under $1000.

In graphics cards, the AMD Radeon RX 580 has proven the best performer when it comes to raw frames per dollar spent. Above $1000, the Radeon RX 6650 XT and 6700 XT offer oustanding 1080p gameplay.

NVIDIA have traditionally offered a large range of low to mid-range cards, perfect parts for a cheap gaming PC, and the GeForce RTX 3060 series cards, with the added bonus of ray tracing + DLSS (AI-based upscaling) technology, hit the mark here. 

Other parts for a cheap gaming PC include the motherboard, power supply, RAM and storage. TechFast offers entry level products and pricepoints for all of these components, lowering the cost of entry for everyone, while offering upgrade paths for those seeking greater performance and value. TechFast offers components from Allied Gaming among other well-known brands.

You could spend hours researching how to build a cheap gaming PC. There’s some pretty advanced knowledge required before you even begin – you need to know which processor you’re going to use, and therefore which motherboard and chipset you need, before moving on to their brand and model.

You’ll have to repeat that process for graphics cards – navigating a huge number of specs, brands and models – memory, storage options, power supplies, cases, system cooling options – plus ensure they’re all compatible with each other AND come in under budget.

And then you’ve got to build it, install an Operating System, drivers and other software, test it, troubleshoot any issues and, finally (and hopefully) have a working system.
