In this article, we will share with you a detailed guide to building a gaming PC worth Rs. 150,000. We will be using top of line Intel processor to build our rig and also we will use the latest AMD Ryzen processor for some of the builds in the Article.
You can also use this rig for streaming videos on Youtube or can also easily use this to edit videos in Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects. (Best Video Editing PC Build) I have over 15+ years of experience in Building Gaming PCs and I continue to update my rigs almost every 2-3 years.
Also, some of the parts from AMD or Nvidia are in short supply at the moment and the prices are absurdly high for those, so I have skipped those to stay within the budget.
In this build, we will stick with a Quad-HD (2k) monitor with a high refresh rate that offers excellent clarity.
You can also get very good frame rates in the latest titles like Cyberpunk 2077 or Battlefield 1, etc using the CPU and GPU combination that we are using.

Also, If you have a budget of Rs.100,000 to Rs. 125,000 you can check out our latest article.
If you have a higher budget can also have a look at the – Ultimate Gaming PC Under 2 Lakh.
Let’s start first with the Intel build and then we will move to the AMD Ryzen build. All the parts suggested in the rig are perfectly compatible with each other and are the latest so you don’t have to worry that if these will work or not.
Note – Graphics card prices are volatile and unpredictable due to demand and supply issues caused by Cryptocurrency mining. You can buy the GPU as mentioned by us or a cheaper GPU that fits in your budget. All Graphics cards will work with these Rigs.
You can buy all the parts online and if you don’t know can hire a local computer shopkeeper to assemble it for you. It is not hard to assemble but doing it the first time can be a bit of a hassle.
If you have not assembled a PC before I will suggest you to take help from a computer hardware shop that can assemble these for Rs. 200 to Rs. 300.
