Ten builds, ten prices, and you're wondering what you actually need? Relax: it comes down to your resolution, your games and the frame rate you want. Here's what each budget gets you at PVP's current prices.

What drives the price of a gaming PC the most?

The graphics card. It's the biggest line item in the price and the biggest factor in performance.

TechSpot's 4K test of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D shows why: GPU performance shifts a lot with quality settings, while CPU performance shifts far less. So the higher the resolution, the bigger the graphics card's share of your budget.

NVIDIA pitches each card at a resolution: RTX 5050 at 1080p High, RTX 5060 at 1080p Max, RTX 5060 Ti and the RTX 5070 family at 1440p, RTX 5080 at 4K. The tiers below follow the same split, with one memory (VRAM) caveat at 1440p.

What budget do you need for each resolution?

Prices come from PVP's build pages, include VAT, are the price at the time of writing and may change. Every build listed has 5200MHz DDR5 RAM and a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD.

Tier	Use case	Graphics card	RAM	Price at time of writing
Entry	1080p esports and lighter games	RTX 3050 6GB or RTX 5050 8GB	16GB	SAR 4,399–4,899
Mid-range	Modern AAA games at 1080p	RTX 5060, RX 9060 XT 8GB or RTX 5060 Ti 8GB	16GB	SAR 5,249–6,749
High-end	1440p at high settings	RTX 5070 12GB, RX 9070 XT 16GB or RTX 5070 Ti 16GB	16GB	SAR 6,999–9,999
Enthusiast	4K and ray tracing	RTX 5080 16GB	16GB or 32GB	SAR 13,399–14,549

How much is a 1080p esports PC?

Picture a student on a tight budget who lives in Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, Fortnite and Rocket League. Their range runs from 4,399 for an RTX 3050 6GB build with an Intel Core Ultra 5 230F to 4,899 with an RTX 5050 8GB and the same processor.

That 500 goes entirely to the graphics card, where extra money belongs in this tier. Per NVIDIA's spec page, the RTX 5050 has 8GB of GDDR6 and supports DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. Both builds pair the Ultra 5 230F (10 cores, up to 5.00 GHz) with 16GB of RAM and a 600W 80+ Bronze power supply.

Chasing very high frame rates in competitive games? The CPU can become the ceiling. TechSpot's rule of thumb: if GPU utilization drops below roughly 95%, you're most likely CPU-limited.

Compare them in PVP's budget gaming PCs.

How much is a 1080p PC for modern AAA games?

Now picture a parent buying a son a PC for open-world and story games at 1080p. This tier runs from 5,249 (RTX 5060 with the Ultra 5 230F) to 6,749 (RTX 5060 Ti 8GB with the Core Ultra 7 265KF). In between sit the RX 9060 XT 8GB with the Ultra 5 at 5,399 and the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB with the Ultra 5 at 5,699.

NVIDIA shows the RTX 5060 (8GB of GDDR7) running 1080p at Max settings with DLSS. Mind the memory, though: TechSpot noted that Very High settings in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered need more than 8GB even at 1080p. The fix: drop texture quality one notch.

Extra money? From the RTX 5060 build, moving to the RTX 5060 Ti costs 450 (SAR 5,249 to 5,699), while moving to the 20-core Ultra 7 265KF with the same card costs 900 (SAR 5,249 to 6,149).

Our advice: for gaming only, start with the graphics card; the stronger CPU pays off if your son also streams or edits video. All of these are in PVP's mid-range gaming PCs.

How much is a 1440p gaming PC?

Got a 1440p 144Hz monitor, or planning to? Here, the card's memory starts to matter.

In TechSpot's review of the 8GB RX 9060 XT at 1440p, several games became choppy or unplayable at Ultra or Very High settings. In The Last of Us Part II at Ultra with upscaling, the 16GB version was 22% faster in average frame rate and 37% faster in 1% lows. That's why we recommend at least 12GB here.

PVP builds in this tier: 6,999 for the RTX 5070 12GB with the Ultra 5 230F, 7,999 with the Ultra 7 265KF, 8,999 for the RX 9070 XT 16GB with the Ultra 7 265KF, 9,699 for the RX 9070 XT with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and 9,999 for the RTX 5070 Ti 16GB with the Ultra 7 265KF.

So, RTX 5070 or RX 9070 XT? In TechSpot's 2026 update across 52 games, each tested at two quality settings, the RX 9070 XT was 24% faster on average at 1440p and 25% at 4K, with 16GB versus 12GB. With the same CPU, the two builds are 1,000 apart (SAR 7,999 vs 8,999).

Against the RTX 5070 Ti, across 55 games, TechSpot found the AMD card about 5% slower on average at 1440p and 4K, with NVIDIA keeping its lead in heavy ray-traced games, so if ray tracing matters a lot, consider the RTX 5070 Ti.

How much is a 4K gaming PC?

4K at high settings takes a top-tier card. NVIDIA shows the RTX 5080 (16GB of GDDR7) running 4K at Max settings with DLSS.

At PVP, this tier runs from 13,399 (RTX 5080, Core Ultra 7 265KF, 16GB of RAM) to 14,549 (24-core Core i9-14900F, 32GB of RAM and a 1000W 80+ Gold power supply).

Smaller budget? The RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 Ti are a reasonable way into 4K with upscaling (AMD shows RX 9070 XT results at 4K Ultra on the card's page), though the heaviest games will need lower settings.

Does the CPU matter at 4K? Less than the graphics card, but it counts. In TechSpot's 14-game test with an RTX 4090 and per-game settings, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D was about 30% faster than the Ryzen 7 7700X and Core Ultra 9 285K at 1080p, narrowing to 17–21% at 4K with DLSS Balanced.

Graphics card or CPU: where does each riyal count?

Graphics card first, then CPU, then RAM and storage. PVP's current prices show why.

With the RTX 5070, going from the Ultra 5 to the Ultra 7 costs 1,000 (SAR 6,999 to 7,999). The same amount moves you from the RTX 5070 to the RX 9070 XT with the Ultra 7 (SAR 7,999 to 8,999), a step TechSpot measured at 24% on average at 1440p. For gaming, that money usually does more in the graphics card.

A stronger CPU earns its place for streaming while you play, CPU-heavy simulation and strategy games, or competitive titles at very high frame rates. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, for example, has 8 cores and 96MB of L3 cache with second-generation 3D V-Cache, per AMD; its build costs 700 more than the Ultra 7 version with the same RX 9070 XT (SAR 8,999 vs 9,699).

Most builds have 16GB of DDR5 RAM; the RTX 5080 build with the i9-14900F has 32GB. You can upgrade RAM, storage and cooling on each build page before checkout.

What hidden costs should you plan for?

Budget for more than the PC itself:

Monitor: A 1440p build on a 1080p 60Hz monitor wastes part of its value, so match your monitor to the build's tier; you can add one from the build page's upgrades.
Windows license: Every PVP build comes with genuine Windows 11 Pro, activated. Building your own? Budget for the license separately.
Accessories: No suitable keyboard, mouse or headset, and none in your offer? Add them to your budget.
Power supply: NVIDIA lists required system power per card, such as 550W for the RTX 5060, 650W for the RTX 5070 and 750W for the RTX 5070 Ti, based on a Ryzen 9 9950X system. Planning a GPU upgrade later? Ask about PSU headroom.
Storage: Every build starts with a 1TB NVMe SSD; a big game library may need more.
Warranty and support: PVP builds carry a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects, plus after-sales technical support through PVP LifeTime.

Note that the FPS tables on PVP's product pages are labeled estimates, not lab measurements; for precise comparisons, see the sources below.

Where should you start?

Start with your monitor and games, not the price: pick your resolution, put most of the budget into the graphics card, then choose from all PVP gaming PCs. Torn between two? Ask us and we'll help.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lowest price for a ready-made PVP gaming PC?

SAR 4,399 at the time of writing, for an RTX 3050 6GB build with an Intel Core Ultra 5 230F, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, suited to esports and lighter games at 1080p. For 500 more, the RTX 5050 build at 4,899 adds a newer card with DLSS 4.

Is an 8GB graphics card enough in 2026?

Yes for 1080p in most cases, sometimes with lower texture quality in heavy games. At 1440p Ultra, though, TechSpot found several games stuttered on the 8GB RX 9060 XT, so for a 1440p monitor, now or later, choose 12GB or 16GB.

RTX 5070 or RX 9070 XT for 1440p?

The RX 9070 XT is 24% faster on average at 1440p in TechSpot's 2026 update across 52 games, with 16GB versus 12GB. The RTX 5070 brings DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and NVIDIA's ray tracing strength. At PVP, the two builds with the Ultra 7 are 1,000 apart.

Do I need a powerful CPU for 4K gaming?

Not the most powerful one, but the CPU still matters in CPU-heavy games. In TechSpot's test, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D led the Ryzen 7 7700X and Core Ultra 9 285K by about 30% at 1080p and 17–21% at 4K with DLSS Balanced, so the graphics card stays your priority.

Does the PVP price include Windows and a warranty?

Yes. Every build includes genuine Windows 11 Pro, activated, professional assembly, a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects and PVP LifeTime after-sales technical support. A monitor and other upgrades can be added on the build page before checkout.
