Build Guides

FAQs

Can a beginner build a gaming PC?

Yes — building a PC today is easier than ever. The process is mostly:

  1. Connecting parts that are designed to fit together
  2. Installing Windows + drivers
    Most builds take 1–3 hours, and you don’t need special tools beyond a Phillips screwdriver.
How much does it cost to build a gaming PC?

A gaming PC can cost anywhere from $500 to $2,500+, depending on the games you play and the resolution you want. For example:

What kind of performance can I expect for my budget?

Performance scales with both GPU power and resolution. In general:

  • $600–$800 builds → 1080p High settings (60–144 FPS in most titles)
  • $900–$1,400 builds → 1440p High/Ultra (80–165 FPS)
  • $1,500+ builds → 4K Ultra (60–120 FPS depending on game)
    Your budget determines which GPU tier you can afford, which directly impacts gaming performance.
Is building a PC cheaper than buying a prebuilt?

Yes, building a PC is usually 10–30% cheaper than buying a prebuilt with the same performance. Prebuilt computers often charge more for:

  • Proprietary motherboards and PSUs
  • Lower-quality cooling or components
  • Labor and branding fees
    With DIY, you choose every part yourself and avoid hidden downgrade parts.

How often should I update or upgrade PC parts?

Most gaming PCs only need upgrades every 4–6 years, but GPUs and storage can be upgraded sooner if performance becomes an issue.
CPU + motherboard platforms tend to last multiple generations, depending on AMD/Intel chipsets.

Why do PC part prices change so often?

Prices change due to new product launches, mining trends, supply shortages, and retailer competition. Some months are significantly cheaper for GPUs, SSDs, and RAM.
