1080p isn’t enough for you. 60 fps? Eh, that’s a baseline. High settings? Hell no. Ultra all the way. If those are your demands for PC gaming, you need a high-end gaming PC: a system built for 1440p at ultra settings. A system that can hit 144 fps in competitive games. A system that doesn’t break the bank, but still completely dwarfs the performance of the PS4 or the Xbox One.

PC Gamer’s high-end PC build guide is aimed at a price tier of around Rs1,50,000 / $2,000, but we’re not afraid to go a bit higher if we feel it’s justified. We’ll also provide some easy downgrades if you’re looking to trim things down. At this tier, we push for a powerful graphics card and an overclockable processor to run today’s games at their highest possible performance. And this rig will still be able to handle games that come out years from now at respectable settings.is aimed at a price tier of around $2,000 / £2,000, but we’re not afraid to go a bit higher if we feel it’s justified.
