A gaming PC isn't just a list of high-spec components thrown together. The GPU needs to match the resolution. The CPU needs to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at your target frame rate. The cooling needs to handle sustained gaming sessions. The PSU needs enough headroom for spikes. And it all needs to fit the case and your budget.

FAQs
Questions you probably have.
What resolution should I build for?
1080p is ideal for competitive gaming where frame rate matters more than image quality. 1440p is the best balance of image quality and performance for most gamers. 4K is for those with high-end hardware and large screens where visual fidelity is the priority.
Should I get AMD or Nvidia GPU?
Both are excellent at current price points. Nvidia has better ray tracing performance and DLSS. AMD's FSR is more broadly supported and their mid-range cards often offer better value. We'll recommend based on your specific games and budget, not brand loyalty.
Do I need a high-end CPU for gaming?
CPU matters less than GPU for most gaming, but a bottleneck at high frame rates is real. We match the CPU tier to the GPU and your target frame rate. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a strong gaming-specific choice due to its 3D V-Cache architecture.
How much does a custom gaming PC cost in South Africa?
An entry 1080p gaming build starts from around R12,000-R15,000. A solid 1440p build runs R18,000-R28,000. A high-end 4K or no-compromise build is R35,000+. We give you an exact price after seeing your spec and budget.
Do you install Windows on gaming PCs?
Yes — Windows 11 installation, driver setup, BIOS configuration, and XMP/EXPO RAM profile activation are all part of the build. You receive a ready-to-use system.
