“How much should I spend on a gaming PC in 2025?”
That’s the most common question every gamer asks — whether they’re building for the first time or planning an upgrade.
The truth is, there’s no “one perfect budget” — your ideal PC cost depends on:
- What games you play
- What resolution you want (1080p / 1440p / 4K)
- FPS expectations (60 / 144 / 240+)
- Whether you stream, edit, or just play
- How future-proof you want it to be
So in this guide, A2Z Computech breaks down REAL PC budgets (in India), what performance to expect at each level, and whether it’s worth it — so you don’t waste a single rupee.

- 1440p 165Hz → ₹1L PC

If you have:

Even a ₹60K PC is OVERKILL.
