Best Gaming PC Build Under 15000 For 2022
Best Gaming PC Under ₹15000 |
You can expect 60+ frame rates on low-intensive games like CS:GO and descent
playable FPS on high-intensive games like GTA 5.
Let's quickly take a look at what this 15000 pc build has to offer you in
terms of performance and features and discuss what you can do the best to
achieve the most out of it.
Budget
The main objective behind this PC build is to get some entry-level gaming
performance while actually being under the price of ₹15000. No easy task for
sure however thanks to the AMD APUs lineup we were able to complete this PC
build by opting for an AMD Athlon 3000G.
The 3200G is pretty much the only option available for you right now which is
the best, beats its competitors from intel and is cheap. Opting for an APU is
the only way to build a PC under ₹15000 as it eliminates the cost of the
standalone dedicated graphics card.
Performance
You wouldn't be playing games at max settings while also not crashing the PC.
This build is committed to only entry-level low intensive games like CS:GO,
Fortnite and overwatch. This APU should be able to achieve 60 FPS on these
games at low settings. It should also be able to give you anywhere between
35-50 FPS on big AAA titles like GTA 5 at 720p low settings.
AMD APUs
An APU, for those who don't know, is a branding term used by AMD to address
their lineup of CPUs that comes pre-equipped with integrated graphics, it
stands for an accelerated processing unit - APU in short. AMD's iGPU-equipped
processors, APU comes with AMD Vega Graphics just as intel ones have Intel HD
or UHD graphics. In our case, the Athlon 3000G comes with Vega 3 graphics,
equivalent to Nvidia's GeForce 940m and is better than its Intel HD
counterparts.
An APU is fully reliable on your system's RAM as it doesn't have one of its
own, unlike a dedicated graphics card. For that reason, it's crucial to have a
fast enough RAM in your build when trying to achieve maximum performance out
of your APU.
How we choose
We love to be honest with our readers. We have a great amount of experience in
pc building for a range of prices. Hours of research and feedback go into the
making of a pc build on our site.
We look for components that are best, cheap and beats out their competition in
their respective spheres before choosing them to be in our pc build. Once
chosen, they are checked for compatibility once manually by us and then again
using online software like pcpartpicker.com.
Since we aren't building the PCs ourselves here, simply because we don't have
that much of a budget yet, doesn't mean we randomly choose any product without
confirming the compatibility and performance guaranteed.
For performance, we personally ask people with the same or similar pc
configuration for an overview of its performance. We also check multiple
benchmarking of our chosen CPUs and GPUs with similar pc build configurations
online. Their FPS tests are also checked on youtube and online websites with
the same CPU, same GPU, similar or same motherboard, ram and storage type.
The required wattage of the power supply is decided by both calculating the
power usage of each component ourselves and then by consulting the
pcpartpicker.com and in the final, we choose the power supply that provides
more wattage than what is required by that respective build to leave out
some space for future upgradations.
When working on tight budget builds, we always prefer the performance of the
pc over the aesthetics just so you get the most out of your pay.
Best Prebuilt PC Recommendations Under ₹15000
We understand that not everyone has the time and knowledge required to build
a pc. There are many things just waiting for you to mess it up that you
gotta be careful about, and that is why many people prefer buying a prebuilt
over building one themselves. Here we have included many different options
from many different brands catering for slightly different budgets than the
others but all the prebuilt PCs are under 15k.

This A320m motherboard from ASRock is the perfect entry-level motherboard
that comes with enough ports and sockets for this build and provides great
features. It's the perfect starter motherboard for any pc built with Ryzen
1, 2 or 3 generations of processors. Since we are only going for a single
stick 4 GB ram clocked @ 2400 Mhz, this motherboard will have a vacant DIMM
slot for future upgrades. You get 6 USB 3.0 ports and an M.2 slot for future
upgrades as well. Overall it is one of the best motherboards for a cheap pc
build and costs just under ₹4000.
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 4GB
To not exceed the budget of ₹15000 we had to choose a single stick 4GB ram
configuration for this build clocked @ 2400 MHz from corsair as it offers
excellent performance at a relatively cheap price and doesn't look so bad at
the same time. However, if you can spend just ₹1000 over the budget, we
strongly recommend you to get this 2 channel 8 GB ram kit from SK Hynix for
more performance.

This 500 GB Hard drive from consistent is pretty much the only available
storage option for this build right now. We recommend you spend a ₹1000 more
to get a 240 GB SSD to increase your loading, booting and file transfer
speeds but in case you cannot, this HDD is the only option for you.
Cabinet - Frontech Computer Case
This pc cabinet doesn't look even half as good as the other gaming pc
cabinets but it gets the job done. Neither it has a tempered side panel nor
those fancy RGB lighting and this is what you'll get for a budget of ₹15000
unless you decide to buy second-hand components.
Power Supply
This is also a cheap power supply unit and looks terrible but it does get
its job done. It will fulfil our PC's requirement with its 450 watts of
power and has a built-in 80mm exhaust fan to keep it cool. It will fit
perfectly in our pc case and you'll face no issue using it.
PC Hardware Terms to Remember
Many people might not get the terms that are used in PC Building stuff
like Frequency, Clock Speed, Cores and Threads. So before jumping into
building a Custom Gaming PC Build. You should first be familiar with all
the necessary terms that are used in PC Hardware
CPU
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit which is the Brain of your computer
where the tasks that you do is processed. These are tiny chips packed with
tons of transistors and are getting faster and smaller each and every
year. A CPU is the most important component that you need to select very
carefully as most of your PC's performance depends upon it.
GPU
The function of both CPU and GPU is almost the same. Where a CPU is a
central processor a GPU is used to perform Graphical processes such as
rendering and all that Graphics stuff. Adding a GPU to your system can
double the performance as your CPU will no longer have to handle the
graphical processes, while the GPU is built specifically for it so it can
perform Graphical processes very well which results in a smoother gameplay
experience and higher Graphics
Integrated Graphics
Many of today's CPUs come with built-in Graphics of their own like AMD's
Vega and Intel's HD Graphics. CPUs with Integrated Graphics can function
well without any External GPU while a CPU without any Integrated Graphics
will not be able to do so (Please Note the CPUs with Integrated Graphics
also use some of your system's memory to do their work well).
PSU
The Power Supply. It's a big transformer with usually one Fan which makes
a lot of noise. It's the distributor of power metered in Wattage to all of
your PC's components including Motherboard, CPU, GPU, Ram etc.
SSD
SSD stands for Solid State Drive and is the latest Technology in PC
Storage. They are faster than HDD (Hard Disk) which have Moving Mechanical
parts but also SSDs cost more than HDDs as they are faster, smaller, and
less energy-consuming since they have no moving parts at all.
HDD
As mentioned above, an HDD is a storage device type that has moving Discs
inside it and the RPM of the movement determines its Read & Write
Speed. HDDs are cheaper than SSDs but are slower than them, bigger than
them, and also produce nice. The chances of an HDD stopping working are
high as anything can go wrong with the moving parts inside it.
PCIe
PCIe short for (peripheral component interconnect express) is a primarily
used interface to connect high-speed components to the motherboard
including Graphics Card, Ram, SSDs, Bluetooth/WiFi Cards etc. PCIe slots
comes with different configurations: x1, x4, x8, x16, x32. The number
after "x" specifies how many lanes the connector has (how much data travel
to and from the PCIe Card). PCIe x1 slot has one lane where data can move
at one bit per cycle, 4 bits per cycle in PCIe x4 and so on.
SATA
SATA Stands for Serial ATA which is a computer bus interface to connect
motherboards to SATA HDDs, SSDs, and Optical Drives. SATA also have its
different types which are as follows:
- SATA II: It is a Second Gen Interface running at 3.0 Gb/s, supports up to 300MB/s bandwidth and maximum cable length of up to 1 meter.
- SATA III: SATA 6 Gb/s is a third-gen SATA Interface running on 6.0Gb/s. It supports up to 600Mb/s of bandwidth and a cable length of up to 1 meter. It's worth noting that SATA III is backwards compatible with SATA II Interface.
- ESATA: It stands for External SATA which uses more strong connectors and increases cable length by up to 2 meters.
- MSATA: Mini SATA is applicable for Netbooks and some other small devices that require smaller SSDs. It's very much similar in appearance to a PCI Express Mini Interface and both are electrically compatible
- SATA Express: SATA Express is a computer bus interface that supports both Serial ATA and PCI Express storage devices, initially standardized in the SATA 3.2 specification.
Cores/Threads
A CPU Core is a CPU's processor. One core means your CPU can handle one
task and a time. Modern-day CPUs can have up to 64 Core. While the threads
are the virtual codes that divide a core into multiple virtual parts. A 4
Cores and 8 Threads CPU means in your processor, 1 core is sharing 2
Threads (assuming they are evenly distributed).
RAM
RAM (aka Random Access Memory) is a short-term storage device for your
computer where all the action using information is stored so that it can
be accessed as fast as possible. The more programmes you run on your
computer at a time, the more RAM you'll need.
VRAM
Video Random Access Memory is a dedicated memory type that your Graphics
Card uses to store the information about pixels and other graphical
content appearing on your screen.
DIMM
DIMM (Dual in-line Memory Module) slots are the connectors where your RAM
goes in. One slot can take only one RAM. Your motherboard may have
anywhere from one to eight DIMM Slots.
Optional Things
Note: These will raise the price of your build!
Operating System
You'll definitely need an Operating System, Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor
to use your PC Build. So here are some OS, and Peripherals
recommendations for your ₹15,000 Custom Gaming PC Build
Windows 10 Home
Windows is currently the best Operating System for both Work and Gaming.
Since Microsoft has stopped the support for Windows 7 it means Windows 7
is officialy dead now. Hence, we'll be opting for a Windows 10 Home
Edition for our Custom PC Build. For the best General Compatibility and
Gaming experience, Windows 10 Home is your best option.
