Best 2K QHD (1440p) Gaming PC Under 1.8 Lakhs in 2024

Processor: We are using the Intel Core i7 14700F as our processor in this gaming PC build. It’s one of the latest offerings from Intel, and it features 20 cores (8 P-cores and 12 E-cores), 28 threads, and a 5.4GHz boost clock, all of which make it great for gaming.

Motherboard: As for the motherboard, we recommend the MSI Pro Z790-P WIFI DDR5. This Z-series motherboard comes with 256GB of DDR5 memory support with speeds up to 7000MHz, features optimized VRM layout, PCIe Gen5 slot, fast wired and wireless connectivity options, and has everything else that one would need from a motherboard. Not to mention, it even supports overclocking, as long as you have a compatible K-series processor.

RAM: For such a high-end gaming PC we want a RAM kit that not only has a good capacity but also has high frequency. For those reasons, we got the Adata XPG Lancer RGB DDR5 32GB (16GB x 2) 5200MHz RAM kit for this build.

Graphics Card: The RTX 4070 Ti is a very powerful card in general, and for 1440p gaming, it’s one of the best options out there. We are specifically going with the Zotac RTX 4070 Ti Trinity variant due to its high clock speeds, cooling performance, and Zotac’s reliability.

CPU Cooler: For the CPU cooler, we have the MSI MAG Coreliquid C360 ARGB. This is a powerful 360mm AIO liquid cooler with beautiful ARGB lighting and a unique design. Overall, it’s a great cooler to pair with the i7 14700F that we have in this build.

Storage: To take care of our storage needs and to ensure that it’s fast and snappy, we are using the Western Digital Blue SN580 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD.

SMPS: Since we have multiple powerful components in this gaming PC build, to ensure that we have a smooth and stable power flow, we recommend the MSI MAG A850GL. This ATX 3.0 PSU comes with 80+ Gold certification and is also fully modular.

Case: What good is a high-end gaming PC without having a stylish yet functional and practical PC cabinet? To meet those ends, we have the Cooler Master Masterbox MB520 Mesh. This PC cabinet has amazing airflow thanks to the mesh panel and also comes with a unique and elegant styling coupled with three pre-installed ARGB fans.

The gaming performance that we get out of this gaming PC configuration while playing games in 1440p is stellar, to say the least. You will be able to play all the latest and greatest AAA games and eSports games out there in the maximum settings while still having smooth and stable frame rates.

In AAA games, you will easily get 60+ FPS in 1440p resolution with the max settings, and for certain games, the same thing will happen in 4K resolution as well. As for eSports titles, you will get triple-digit FPS on average without any issues.

The chart below will provide you with a fair idea of the type of gaming performance that you can expect out of this gaming PC configuration.
