How to choose the best budget gaming PC

When shopping for the very best budget gaming PC, the first step is to determine how much you’re willing to spend.

Remember, there’s more to a budget PC gaming setup than the system alone – so you need to factor this into your budget as well.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend that you prioritise the best out-of-the-box performance in-game before you spend on additional features, such as memory and storage. Components like RAM, storage and graphics cards can easily be upgraded at a later date, depending on the configuration of your budget gaming PC.

It’s worth considering the games you want to play, too. For example, low to mid-range computer games don’t usually require high-end specs like AAA games do.

We also offer a range of budget mini PCs for gamers looking to save on your next PC.

If you’re unsure which budget gaming PC is right for you or you have a question about any of the models available, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Gaming PCs on a budget

Is it cheaper to build your own or choose a pre-built PC?

Generally, buying parts individually and putting them together yourself works out cheaper than buying the same machine pre-built, which is great if you’re on a budget and looking to save as much money as possible.

You get to shop around to find the best prices and avoid paying for expensive parts that you simply don’t need. Check out our 2025 Gaming PC Buying Guide here.
