287$ Witcher 3 for PC
287$ Witcher 3 for PC
This 287$ build supports Witcher 3 in Low resolution at 1080p and Ultra with around 11 frames per second, while running at 480p. Yes, we assembled a system for $287 that can handle Witcher 3 in Ultra (expecting about 1x1 Ultra 500fps at 11 fps). The processor can be overclocked up to 5.2 GHz using water cooling, and it features a strong integrated graphics unit suitable for light gaming. We selected a solid motherboard and provided 8 GB of RAM, which is adequate. The most affordable graphics card we found was the GTX 950, ideal for medium to heavy games without causing major bottlenecks with the A6 5400K. Even if there’s a slight bottleneck, it shouldn’t be noticeable. We also included an SSD and used a budget case that comes with power supply. If you plan to overclock, it will still function because it has 67W of surplus power. PCPartPicker provided the full parts list and pricing details.
The group generally thinks the build is solid and well-executed, with clear focus on performance and stability.
I created it using PCPartPicker. It’s not my original work, but I hope you’ll ignore the frequent errors and take things more seriously than you’re doing now. This machine can handle most games smoothly at 1080p. At that price point, it’s unlikely to support everything in full resolution.
You could have chosen an Athlon 860K for better performance in this budget. Or opt for an AMD processor such as the R7 370, or even a lower-end model like a 360.
I hadn't considered choosing a 370 or 360, but the 860K model costs more and affects the budget (over $300). Just go with it—many systems face this issue.
Yes, there are instances where power supplies have been set up beforehand.
