Operational Matrix: Starting Power

The cheapest build that still holds 60+ FPS at 1080p with settings turned up. Sized so the GPU, not the CPU, is what you upgrade next.

Frequently asked questions

add

What is a build pack?

A complete, coherent parts list assembled around one goal and one budget — everything in it is chosen to work together, with the power supply and cooling sized for the rest rather than picked in isolation.

add

Are the prices shown current?

No prices are quoted, because they move constantly and vary by country. Each component links to a search for that exact part, so what you see is whatever it costs where you are, today.

add

Can I change a part I do not like?

Yes — take the pack as a starting point and swap the piece in the assembly simulator, which will tell you immediately whether the replacement still fits the case, the socket and the power budget.

add

Which pack should I pick for 1440p?

As a rule of thumb, at 1080p the processor does most of the work, at 1440p the load is shared, and at 4K the graphics card decides almost everything. Pick the pack whose graphics card matches the resolution you actually play at, then check the balance in the bottleneck tool.

add

Do I need every part in the list?

The case, board, processor, cooler, memory, a drive and the power supply are the minimum for a machine that boots. A graphics card is optional only if the processor has integrated graphics; case fans are optional but strongly advisable.
