Components for Budget gaming PC under 50000 to 1 Lakh

Here are the best budget components that you will need to build an affordable and powerful budget Gaming PC for professionals.

Processor

Intel Core i5-8600K Processor

CPU or Processor is the most important part of any computer but it is also the most important component of a Gaming PC. This is because Gaming requires a lot of processing power and a greater number of processor cores provide faster & better performance in video editing. Here for this video editing rig, I have chosen Intel Core i5 8600K CPU which is a 14nm Hexa-core (6 core) processor in the Intel 8th generation coffee Lake Processor series. This is a pretty powerful CPU and it comes with base/turbo clock speeds of 3.60 GHz / 4.30 GHz and 9MB cache. This is a K series core processor which means it has got unlocked multipliers and can be overclocked too much higher frequencies using a good liquid CPU cooler and Z370 chipset motherboard for overclocking. The processor is also good for gaming and workstation use because it offers excellent performance for the price. It has TDP of 95W and it comes with Intel UHD Graphics 630 onboard graphics. This 8th generation Core i5-8600K processor easily beats previous generation Haswell & Skylake series Core i7 processors. The performance of this processor is higher or equal to that of AMD Ryzen 5 1600X processor which is also a Hexa-core processor but it supports 12 Threads at once.

CPU Cooler

Cooler Master Hyper T2

You need an aftermarket CPU cooler for K series core processors because they do not come with the stock CPU cooler. Here I have selected Cooler Master Hyper T2 which is a compact CPU cooler from Cooler Master and offers good performance on stock speeds. If you want to overclock your CPU then you have to go for a liquid CPU cooler. It supports almost all the latest Intel and AMD Sockets.

This budget Cooler comes with a 92mm fan and two copper heat pipes that have direct contact with the CPU. It can support processors having up to 130W TDP. It comes with all the mounting brackets and is pretty easy to install for both Intel and AMD CPUs. The performance of this compact and budget CPU cooler is great but I would not recommend you perform overclocking your CPU on this cooler. For overclocking, you should get a good AIO Liquid CPU Cooler or a powerful CPU Air Cooler.

Motherboard Gigabyte Z370P D3

The motherboard I have chosen here is Gigabyte Z370P D3. This is an ATX motherboard based on the latest Z370 Intel chipset and supports 8th generation Coffee Lake processors. The motherboard supports 64GB DDR4 RAM (up to 4000 MHz) in dual channel mode and has got an M.2 slot for connecting super-fast PCIe Gen3 x4 or NVMe SSDs. For the graphics cards, it has PCI-Ex16 slots that support 2-Way AMD Crossfire multi-GPU setup. Other features include onboard 8 channel audio, gigabit LAN, RGB Fusion for LED Lighting, Intel Optane Memory Ready, high-speed USB 3.1 ports, Hybrid Fan headers, UEFI BIOS. The motherboard includes support for Windows 10 64-bit operating system.

RAM

Crucial Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 (16GB)

You need a good amount of RAM for video editing work and here I have chosen 16GB of Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 memory. Here I am using two 8GB sticks of this gaming RAM configured in dual channel mode for maximum performance and bandwidth. This is a high-performance low profile DDR4 memory that has got a clock speed of 2400 MHz (2666 MHz using XMP profile) and comes with a sleek and slim aluminum heat spreader that keeps it cool even during high workloads. You can increase your RAM to up to 32GB by adding two more modules of this DDR4 gaming RAM if you feel that 16GB is falling short for your video editing work.

SSD

Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD

SSD can make a huge performance impact in video editing work compared to a traditional hard drive. For SSD, I have selected Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD which is a high-performance 2.5-inch SATAIII solid-state drive having maximum Read & Write speed of up to 550 MB/s & 520 MB/s respectively. This Samsung SSD has got 1.5 Million Hours Reliability (MTBF) which is pretty good for the SSD in its price range. The SSD uses V-NAND memory chips to store data and supports AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption, and is compliant with TCG Opal and IEEE 1667. This is a great SSD for 4K Video Editing, 4K Video Rendering and working with 3D modeling software.

Hard Drive

Seagate BarraCuda 2TB

For storing all your video files and other files, you do need a high capacity Hard drive too because higher capacities SSDs are very expensive. Here I have selected Seagate BarraCuda 2TB which is 7200 RPM 3.5-inch hard drive having SATAIII interface. It comes with 64MB cache and offers tons of storage space for all your videos and other work files. Overall, a good inexpensive traditional hard drive that offers good performance for the price.

Graphics Card

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mini

For Gaming, you need a decent graphics card because it can really speed things up. Nowadays graphics card is becoming an important component of a video editing PC because all the modern-day video editing and photo editing software have started taking advantage of GPU processing power. Here I have picked up ZOTA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mini which is a compact mid-range graphics card based on the Pascal GPU architecture from Nvidia. It comes with 768 CUDA Cores and 4GB GDDR5 memory having a 128-bit interface. It is a very compact graphics card and can fit in almost all SFF mini-ITX cases. For cooling, it comes with a 90mm fan and an aluminum heatsink. The card also has lower power consumption and does not require external power connectors from the PSU. Connectivity options include DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort.

Power Supply

Corsair VS550 Power Supply

Corsair VS550 is a very good budget power supply having a maximum wattage of 550 Watts. It comes with a single 12V rail having 42A current on it, 120mm silent fan and two PCI-Express 8-Pin (6+2) connectors for the graphics card. It is an 80 Plus certified power supply with up to 85% efficiency and comes with all sleeved cables. This 550W power supply is enough to power this video editing PC without any hiccups. Other features include 0.99 Active Power Factor Correction (Active PFC) and all Voltage, Power and Current Protection features i.e. OCP, OVP, OPP, SCP, UVP, OTP.

PC Cabinet (Case)

Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid-Tower

Corsair Carbide Series 100R is an elegant, simple and modern looking mid-tower computer case. that is very practical and spacious. It can support up to ATX sized motherboards and for cooling, it comes included with one 120mm fan (rear) and offers up to 5 fan mounting locations for installing more case fans for increased airflow. On the front panel, you will get two USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks. This is a good case for building a budget work PC, office PC or home PC. Below you can find all the specifications and features of this sleek mid-tower case.

Monitor

AOC I2367FH 23” IPS Full HD

For monitor, I strongly advise you to get an IPS panel display for video editing work because of its superior color production and image quality. Here I recommend a very good budget IPS panel monitor which is AOC I2367FH 23-inch IPS LED Full HD monitor. This 1080p IPS monitor has got very narrow bezels, a solid stand, and 2W internal speakers. It has excellent color production and comes with one VGA and two HDMI ports

This budget video editing and Gaming PC is powerful enough to edit videos up to 4K and for other professional work. You can also enjoy high-quality games too on this professional Gaming build.
