Though the Intel CPU’S perform better in terms of gaming compared to AMD Ryzen processors, building gaming PC with Intel’s Coffee lake CPU’S were not recommended for budget gamers due to the unavailability of the H310,B360 and H370 boards which are the ideal options for people who do not intend to overclock their CPU’S.
Finally after few months the H310, B360 and H370 boards are available in markets all over the world so finally it’s time to build a Mid-Range Gaming PC.We are going to build a budget mid-range Gaming PC under the budget of 50,000 which is ideal for 1080p gaming. And it can handle modern AAA titles without any issues.
Note:
The links given above are the best prices which we could find on the internet and are genuine so we request you to compare the prices from different sites as well as offline sellers and then decide depending upon the prices you get it for.
The components like the case, GPU, RAM etc.. can be changed to different brands or capacities as per your need and conveniences as far as they are compatible with each other.
Here are the part’s list:
1) PROCESSOR
Here we are going with an Intel i3 8100 which is a four core and four threaded processor which is a perfect option for a mid range gaming PC. The quad core CPU should be more than enough for gaming and other tasks.
It comes with a base frequency of 3.6 GHz. And it also comes with a stock cooler which is decent enough to cool the CPU.
Coming to the price it is available for around 9,000 on various online and offline stores.

2) MOTHERBOARD
As we are going with a clocked processor we decided to stick to a Gigabyte H310M H which is a Micro ATX motherboard. It comes with single PCIE Slot, 2 RAM Slots and includes all the basic ports and Audio jacks at the back.
For storage it packs in four SATA 6gbps ports but sadly does not have an M.2 slot but for the price it is totally justified.
Coming to the price it is available for around 5,200 on various online and offline stores.

3) RAM
These days minimum of 8GB of RAM is recommended for most of the games, we have decided to go with CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 8GB DDR4 2400 MHZ RAM. It is a single stick of 8GB DDR4 RAM which is clocked at 2400MHZ.
Even after installing this we will have additional 1 slot unoccupied on the motherboard which can be expanded later on. Unlike the AMD chips the Intel chips do not take the advantage of faster memory speed so it won’t be a bottleneck going with a 2400MHZ RAM.
Coming to the price it is available for around 7,200 on various online and offline stores.

4) GRAPHIC CARD
For GPU we are going with a Zotac GTX 1050Ti 4GB GDDR5. The sole reason of going with this is due to its price and since it is a product of Zotac it also includes 5 year warranty. 1050Ti is a sweet spot for budget gamers who do not want crazy refresh rates but rather prefer smooth game-play.
Coming to the price it is available for around 15,000 on various online and offline stores.

5) SOLID STATE DRIVE (SSD)
For installation of Operating System and applications we recommend to go with WD GREEN 120GB SSD. Addition of SSD to any system drastically increases the boot times and help applications load faster.
The reason for choosing WD over other brands is due to its price to performance ratio.
Coming to the price it is available for around 2,900 on various online and offline stores.

6) HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD)
Games require lots of space for installation so we recommend to go with SEAGATE BARRACUDA ST1000DM010 1TB HDD.Since SSD’s are expensive it is not possible to use them for installation of games or for mass storage that is where this hard drive comes in handy.
Coming to the price it is available for around 3,000 on various online and offline stores.

7) POWER SUPPLY UNIT (PSU)
To power all the above components we recommend to go with CORSAIR VS450 450W POWER SUPPLY UNIT. It is an 80+ certified power supply with sleeved cables.
Coming to the price it is available for around 2,400 on various online and offline stores.

8) CABINET
To fit all these items we need a cabinet for that we are going with ANTEC P8 BLACK TEMPERED GLASS ATX MID TOWER CASE. We could have gone with a cheaper case but since we are doing a air-cooled build the air flow must be very organised this is where the included three white LED fans come in place.
It comes with 2 USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks in the front. And it is equipped with dust filters at top, bottom and in the front. Since we are using a non-modular PSU the included PSU cover will help us hide the extra wires and on the other hand cable management is like a breeze on this case due to the cut-outs for passing the wires.
Coming to the price it is available for around 5,000 on various online and offline stores.
