Best gaming PC under ₹80,000 in March 2025: CPU, GPU, Motherboard, RAM, PSU, Storage, and Cabinet

The ₹80,000 budget unlocks a tier where smart compromises vanish: gone are the DDR4-vs-DDR5 debates (we stick with affordable, high-speed DDR4 to prioritise GPU spending), and entry-level GPUs make way for true 1440p contenders like the RX 7700 XT. We’ve also prioritised silent cooling, modular cable management, and SSD speeds that slash load times to near-instantaneous. Let’s dive into the components that make this rig a powerhouse for both gamers and creators alike—and why it’s the ultimate ticket to next-gen gaming without the next-gen price tag.

Processor (CPU) – Intel Core i5-13400F (₹17,000)

The 13th Gen i5-13400F offers 10 cores (6P + 4E) and 16 threads, delivering 20% faster multi-core performance than the 12400F. Its hybrid architecture handles gaming and streaming effortlessly, while PCIe 5.0 support ensures future GPU compatibility.

Alternative: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (₹20,000) for AM5 upgradability, but requires pricier DDR5 RAM.

Graphics Card (GPU) – AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT 12GB (₹35,000)

A 1440p beast, the RX 7700 XT delivers 90–100 FPS in AAA titles at ultra settings. With 12GB GDDR6 VRAM and FSR 3.5 support, it handles ray-traced games like Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty smoothly. Outperforms the RTX 4060 Ti in raw rasterisation.

Alternative: Used RX 6800 (₹32,000) for better value.

Motherboard – MSI PRO B760M-E (₹10,000)

Supports 12th/13th Gen Intel CPUs and PCIe 5.0. Features dual M.2 slots (one PCIe 4.0), USB 3.2 Gen 2, and a 12+1 power phase design. No Wi-Fi, but a ₹1,500 adapter can be added later.

RAM – ADATA XPG Gammix D30 16GB DDR4-3600MHz (₹3,500)

16GB DDR4 is sufficient for most games, but upgrade to 32GB (₹7,000) for content creation. DDR5 is avoided due to high latency and cost.

Storage – Kingston KC3000 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe (₹6,000)

7,000 MB/s read speeds cut load times drastically. A DRAM cache ensures sustained performance for large game files.

Power Supply – Cooler Master MWE 750W 80+ Gold (₹6,000)

750W provides headroom for GPUs like the RTX 4070. Fully modular cables and 90% efficiency ensure clean power delivery.

Cabinet – Deepcool CH370 (₹4,000)

Compact micro-ATX case with mesh front panel, tempered glass, and two pre-installed 120mm fans. Supports GPUs up to 360mm.

Total Cost Breakdown

Component	Price (₹)
CPU	17,000
GPU	35,000
Motherboard	10,000
RAM	3,500
Storage	6,000
PSU	6,000
Cabinet	4,000
Total	81,500

Budget Stretch Tips:

• Use stock CPU cooler temporarily (save ₹2,000).
• Opt for a ₹3,500 1TB SSD initially and add storage later.

Optional Upgrades

• RAM: Add 16GB DDR4 (₹3,500) for streaming/editing.
• GPU: Upgrade to RX 7800 XT (₹45,000) for 4K-ready performance.
• Cooling: Deepcool AK620 (₹3,500) for quieter operation.
