Budget Gaming PC Builds Guide

Hey everyone!

As requested, I've put together a detailed guide to help you build a fantastic budget gaming PC for 2024. We'll cover everything from choosing the right CPU and GPU to selecting RAM, storage, and a power supply. The goal here is to maximize performance per dollar, ensuring you can play the latest titles without breaking the bank.

Key Considerations:

• CPU: Balancing core count and clock speed for gaming.
• GPU: The most crucial component for gaming performance.
• RAM: 16GB is the sweet spot for most budget builds.
• Storage: SSDs are a must for fast load times.
• PSU: Don't skimp on this! A reliable PSU is crucial.

I've included a few different build tiers, from ultra-budget ($500-$700) to more capable mid-range budget ($800-$1000). Each build comes with specific component recommendations and explanations for why certain parts were chosen.

Looking forward to your thoughts and questions!

Great guide, UserXYZ! I especially appreciate the breakdown of GPU options. I've been struggling to decide between an RX 6600 and a used RTX 2070 Super for my $700 build. The benchmarks you've included are super helpful.

One question: for the $700 build, would it be worth considering an older Ryzen 5 3600 if I can find it cheaper than the suggested 5500? I'm looking to save every penny!

Thanks for the guide! I'm working on a $900 build and was eyeing the RX 7600 XT. Your guide mentions it as a solid option. Do you have any tips on optimizing case airflow for better temps on a budget? I'm thinking of getting a mesh front case, but are there specific fan configurations you recommend?
