This is a great all-around $900 custom gaming pc build that'll tackle on nearly any 1440p gaming you throw at it, anywhere from 60-100fps for demanding triple A pc games or 120-240fps+ for easy to run yet high frame rate Esports PC games.
The driving force behind what makes this $900 gaming pc build so powerful yet inexpensive is the Ryzen 5 7500F. This is the best budget gaming CPU on the market below $200 USD, with gaming performance not too far off more expensive 6 and 8 core variants of this CPU like the Ryzen 5 7600, Ryzen 5 7600X, Ryzen 7 7700, or even Ryzen 7 7700X. If you can't get the Ryzen 5 7500F shipped to your region, then a standard Ryzen 5 7600 will suffice as it's nearly the same CPU.
An affordable yet reliable B650 motherboard is all you'll need for this $900 gaming pc build, like the one chosen in the build list. Supporting PCIe 5.0 on the M.2 slot and PCIe 4.0 on the pci express slot for the graphics card, the chosen B650 motherboard for this PC will be enough for the Ryzen 5 7500F and future AM5 CPU upgrades.
In regards to memory, 32gb of DDR5 memory is standard for a mid-range $900 gaming pc like this. More importantly, the choose ram has a speed of 6000mhz/6400mhz with a CAS latency of either 30 or 32, which is at the upper limit of the chosen B650 motherboard and Ryzen 5 7500F for this $900 gaming pc build.
A 1TB PCI gen 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD as well will satisfy the storage needs for this pc, although if you need more, then feel free to use any of the recommended 2TB M.2 SSDs from other build guides for this $900 gaming pc build. It's important to make sure you get an SSD with DRAM included.
The most important part of what makes a computer a gaming pc is the graphics card, which for this build, is either the Radeon RX 6750 XT 12GB or Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB. The Radeon RX 6750XT 12GB is recommended more so over the 7600 XT since it is the faster GPU all-around, but the 7600 XT 16GB is a nice alternative if you want a graphics card with even more VRAM that can take advantage of FSR4 AI based FPS upscaling when that eventually releases.
The power supply needed for this PC should be a 650W 80+ bronze PSU at minimum, but having a PSU with a larger wattage capacity is nice for future CPU or GPU upgrades in this $900 gaming pc that could utilize more wattage.
To tie everything up, a basic Micro ATX pc case is all you'd need for this kind of $900 gaming pc, as long as it can provide ample airflow to your graphics card of choice.
A 2560x1440 high refresh rate monitor is also recommended for this PC, like the one linked above.
