A $1,100 gaming computer is now complete.
Greetings, everyone!
I’m embarking on my initial PC construction project and possess very limited knowledge regarding components. My target expenditure is $1,100 for a gaming computer. I aim to experience games such as Grand Theft Auto V, PlayerUnknown’s Battleground, Call of Duty, and FIFA 19 at a high frame rate in 4K resolution. Typically, I dedicate between two and five hours daily to gaming during the week, with significantly longer sessions on weekends and holidays.
Could you please furnish a comprehensive inventory of all required parts, ensuring compatibility, to assist me in planning my build? Thank you.
To begin, a budget of $1100 is unlikely to enable the construction of a gaming PC capable of smoothly running contemporary, graphically demanding games at 4K resolution with consistently high frame rates. However, I’m providing what represents the most capable build achievable within that price range. This configuration should allow for enjoyable gameplay at 4K with medium to high settings, delivering respectable frame rates.
