Introduction
This customized PC is designed to deliver the best budget gaming pc at 4K on all of today's most popular AAA games. It will run well at high settings on 1080p or 4K when playing Cyberpunk 2077, Farcry6, Assassin Creed, Call of Duty Warzone, Red Dead Redemption, Day's Gone, PUBG, and more without flinching.
CPU
Intel Core i7-12700KF provides some of the best bang for your buck. It offers 12 cores, 20 threads, a base frequency of 3.8 GHz, and a turbo frequency of 5.0 GHz. It’s not absolutely top-of-the-line but it’s a good match with the GeForce 3070-3080 Ti. You could save about $120 by not selecting the Intel Core i9-12900K which gives you better frame rates for just only 2-3 frames approximately. For better cooling, we've included an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420 RGB to this rig.
Motherboard
We've selected the best-priced motherboard. In this case, ASUS PRIME Z690-P WIFI DDR5 DIMM PCIe 5.0 will boost your gaming performance. PCIe Gen 5 is going to bring you an extreme gaming performance by supplying enough power for high-end graphics cards. With PCIe 5.0, the transfer speed now hits 32 GT/s and up to 128GB/s bandwidth over an x16 lane connection.
Memory
You don't need to overspend on the RAM. The Crucial 32 GB(2 x 16) DDR5 Desktop Memory can empower computer to transfer 50% more data than DDR4 at launch, resulting in faster load times, refresh rates and less lag time. Due to higher bus efficiency, DDR5 technology is absolutely better than the previous generation.
Storage
With Solid State Drives (SSDs) the PC will boot, open programs, and load games considerably faster than mechanical drives.We recommend you this WD BLACK 1TB SN850 lightning-fast NVMe drive is a good option for nearly any gaming system. It has incredible read and write speeds of up to 7,000 and 5,300 megabytes per second respectively, making it fast enough to not only store all of your games, but possibly your operating system as well.
Graphic card
The RTX 3080 Ti is still one of the most sought-after GPUs on the market. It will let you play all modern games at high settings with smooth fps. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti provides a boost to make smooth high-fidelity 4K gaming beyond 60 fps an achievable target. It's performance is not much different from RTX 3090 but you could save about $400 by choosing the 3080 Ti.
As the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is a supercharged version of the GeForce RTX 3080, it’s got a starting price tag of $1,119. That's a good bit pricier than the $699 RTX 3080, but cheaper than the $1,499 RTX 3090.
Power supply
We recommend you the NZXT C850 Gold Power Supply for your PC gaming system which can provide plenty of power for this build. This PSU delivers 850 watts of clean, stable power which is ideal for gaming PCs with multiple GPUs, or higher power requirements. It is also useful for SLI or Crossfire builds.
The final price doesn't include accessories or peripherals either, so if you're going all-in on 4K gaming, you should pick yourself up a quality gaming monitor that'll make the most out of your GPU.
Note
This PC build targets the $2,000 range which will give you the ability to play games with high-definition, 4K graphics. Heavier workloads tasks such as streaming and video rendering will also be handled with ease.
