Best gaming PC build for Cyberpunk 2077

As you can see from the requirements above, Cyberpunk 2077 is likely to be a rather taxing game. The build we are putting together is going to be slightly more powerful than this to ensure you can play the game in 4K, so please take this into consideration. Furthermore, you should always take these system requirements with a pinch of salt as we haven’t benchmarked the game yet.

What You Get For Your Money

It is no surprise that the budget of the best custom gaming PC for Cyberpunk 2077 won’t be cheap but it doesn’t need to be excessive either. We have set the budget between the $1500 and $2000 mark to ensure you get high-quality components that also make the performance impact you are looking for. At this price, you are well and truly into the high-end scale of gaming PC’s and a mere few steps away from the very best out there. There are no compromises at this budget in terms of performance and you can be sure to get an aesthetically pleasing machine too.

Performance

When it comes to performance we know there will be a mixed bag of gamers with varied budgets getting their hands on this game. While Cyberpunk 2077 will no doubt be enjoyable running in optimized settings, no matter what your PC specs are, that doesn’t mean we don’t want to try and get the best experience out of this AAA title. Nvidia will be launching their latest Ampere 30-series graphics cards and will be shoehorned into this build as soon as they possibly can be. For now, we’ll make do with the highly regarded RTX 20 series to power this build.

The GPU will be supported by one of Intel’s latest 10th-generation CPUs, the Core 10600K. The 10600K is one of Intel’s best price-to-performance processors and will go far in any gaming rig. This CPU comes with 6 cores and 12 threads, giving consumers fewer cores than AMD’s closely priced 3700X. Despite this, this chip provides excellent single-core performance and when paired with a powerful Nvidia RTX card, you can expect superb gaming results. Out of the box, this processor features a clock speed of 4.1GHz, with a max boost potential of 4.8GHz, which is easily done with the motherboard we have selected.

We are unsure at this point what the file size Cyberpunk 2077 will be but this custom build features one of the fastest M.2 SSD’s currently available. The 1TB drive will be more than enough for your operating system and favorite games but you may want to add an HDD for all your work-related and media files if you require it.

Whether you are going to be running Cyberpunk 2077 in 1080p, 1440p, or 4K, you can rest assured this custom build gaming PC can handle it.
