When building a gaming computer, if there is no upper limit on the budget or there is enough, it is not a problem. It is easy to build a high-performance gaming computer. However, if the budget is limited, many people will definitely be troubled. How to match it with a higher CP value?
Recently, PCWorld, a well-known computer hardware foreign media, shared a set of menus, “You can assemble a decent gaming PC for only $300.” They even broadcast live and recorded it as a video, so that interested people can understand what kind of games can be played with this computer and whether the game screen is smooth. Here is a summary for your reference.
Foreign media shares a game console that costs only about US$300
Below is the menu shared by PCWorld,
- Processor: AMD Athlon 3000G
- Motherboard: ASRock A320M-HDV R4.0 AM4
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-3000
- Hard drive: Crucial Technology BX500 480GB SATA SSD
- Power supply: EVGA 500 W1 80+ White
- Case: Thermaltake Versa H21 ATX Mid-Tower
- Keyboard: Logitech K120
- Mouse: Kensington Optical Mouse
Most of the above hardware is available in Taiwan. A few have no choice but to find similar substitutes. The picture below is the estimate I generated using the original price house. It is indeed below NT$9,000, but does not include the keyboard and mouse:
PCWorld also used this gaming PC to run scores. The first was the “Crysis Doomsday War” first-person shooting game. This is also the result that many gamers will want to know.
As you can see from the picture below, using AMD Athlon 3000G internal display “Vega 3” in 1080p quality mode, the average FPS obtained is 22.63, and 720p can be increased to 38.40 fps:
There are also four games: Metro Exodus (low), Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Rise of the Tomb Raider (lowest), and Shadow of Mordor (lowest):
It can be clearly seen that, after all, it is only through the internal display and computer hardware that only costs about NT$9,000. 1080p image quality is basically a no-brainer. 720p is acceptable, but usually the image quality setting needs to be adjusted to the lowest.
This is the gameplay video they shared of the actual Doomsday Battle. However, because it is a live broadcast, it is a bit long. You can just fast forward to find the part you want to watch:
If you really want to have better display performance and gaming experience, they also recommend purchasing an RX570 4GB independent graphics card. For about NT$3,500 more, you can enjoy 1080p high image quality, and it is also the highest display setting. The difference is very big:
Regarding the motherboard, they also suggested choosing a better one: the AM4 platform equipped with the B450 chipset not only performs better, but also usually has 4 DIMM slots. If you have money in the future, you can install more RAM memory.
However, the budget will be slightly exceeded, so it is recommended to wait for the special price before buying.
