PC PARK
Quick answer: Decide your target resolution first, then spend the biggest share of the budget on the graphics card. For most people a tested pre-built PC is the easiest choice, while a custom build suits enthusiasts who want to pick every part.
Step 1: Choose your target resolution
| Level | Typical GPU | Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | RTX 5050 / RTX 5060 | 1080p gaming and esports |
| Mid-range | RTX 5060 Ti / RTX 5070 / RX 9060 XT | 1080p high refresh and 1440p |
| High-end | RTX 5070 Ti / RTX 5080 / RX 9070 XT | 1440p ultra, 4K, streaming and creation |
Tip: put around 40 to 50% of the total budget into the graphics card.
Step 2: Pre-built or custom?
Pre-built: best for most people
- Ready to play out of the box with Windows installed
- Parts are tested together for compatibility and temperatures
- One warranty point of contact for the whole PC
Custom build: best for enthusiasts
- Choose every part, case and RGB style
- Easier to plan future upgrades
- Requires more knowledge and time
Step 3: Choose the components
