Choose wisely

What budget should you plan for a good gaming PC?

The right budget depends first and foremost on your screen and your games. There’s no point in funding a 4K machine to play only in Full HD; conversely, a 4K screen or a creative use case requires more graphical power, memory and cooling.

01

1080p

An accessible, well-balanced setup for playing comfortably in Full HD.

FAQ

Choosing the right budget for a gaming PC

Useful answers before choosing your setup.

Around €1,000 makes it possible to target 1080p. Between €1,500 and €2,000, 1440p becomes the main target. Beyond €2,000, you move up to 4K, intensive streaming, and creative uses.
