Entry-Level Gaming Setup Ideas for Action Fans

Gaming Setups can make or break your gaming experience. That’s why there is an overwhelming amount of setups and designs available on the internet these days.

While spending hours on Instagram, looking at the most outrageous gaming setups can definitely be fun, it’s rarely helpful. Here we’ve combined some of the more realistic and practical ideas for gaming setups for 2022. These will be especially helpful if you are a beginner and just getting started with your setup. Whether this is your first time trying to build a good gaming setup or you’ve wanted to upgrade your current setup for a while, you’ve come to the right place!

Invest in a Custom Water Cooling EKWB With RTX 3090 FE & i9 10900K

You can never go wrong with this particular setup, especially if this is your first time trying to build a legitimate gaming setup. With the water-cooled PC along with the triple monitor setup, it is every gamer’s dream come true. With one of the fastest CPUs for gaming along with the RTX3090, no game is out of your league. One thing to keep in mind about this setup is that it requires some space. It is not ideal if you have minimal space for your gaming setup. But if you have enough room for it, it looks extremely clean and won’t add any clutter to your room.

Consider Sauron Dream-Build

If the previous option is a bit overwhelming for you, consider the Sauron Dream-Build instead. Not every entry-level gamer has a huge space for their setup, which is completely fine. It does not mean you can’t create an excellent setup for yourself. While it can deliver almost identical results, this build is much simpler and takes up less space. This build also has excellent cable management and is accessible to the eyes. This does not mean that it doesn’t have enough fans, though; it delivers an amazing performance every time. Of course, all of this fancy equipment is useless unless you protect your device from snoopers who might be trying to access your accounts and personal information through your network connection. To ensure that your connection is safe, download a VPN and connect to a remote server every time you are online. When you connect to the internet through a VPN, your connection is rerouted through a remote server, which in turn conceals your actual IP address and location along with all the personal information snoopers could get by infiltrating your unsecured network. You can choose from thousands of different servers scattered all across the globe; it’s up to you. If you’re not sure which VPN provider to use, you can always check for some reviews online, for example, NordVPN Linkedin.

Go with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G for the best CPU experience

If you don’t want to buy entire setups and would instead go step-by-step, we also have suggestions for you. For starters, let’s discuss processors. One of the best performing processors is the Ryzen 5000 series, we suggest you go with just that as your starting point in building your setup. Especially if you aren’t looking to build the whole setup all at once and are looking for some key upgrades. Razen 5 5600G is optimal for entry-level gaming as it has the best price-to-performance ratio. While you may not get the best results with every game, for the most part, this processor can get you there at a great price, offering durability and optimal performance that is great for beginners.

Choose ASRock B550m Pro 4 for Your Motherboard

Not only is the ASRock B550m Pro 4 one of the most affordable options for the motherboard on the market right now, but it also comes with amazing features as well. ASRock B550m Pro 4 has an eight-phase power design and is best for small-size PC cases – so perfect for beginners. While this isn’t the best motherboard for overclocking, it still enhances the 5600G we suggested earlier, so if you upgrade your motherboard, go with ASRock B550m Pro 4.

XPG Gammix D30 DDR4 RAM

One of the main reasons we recommend going with XPG Gammix D30 DDR4 RAM is because it’s easily accessible and is relatively affordable compared to other options on the market. Apart from offering a great value for money, they are faster and have tighter timings than other options. Another perk of choosing these sticks over other ones is that XPG Gammix D30 DDR4 RAM also has a heat-spreader that can add to the visual aspect of your build. So overall, this is a great, hassle-free option for beginners.
