Best 2K / QHD (1440p) Gaming PC Under 2.5 Lakhs in 2024

Processor: For the processor, we got the Intel Core i7 14700KF. Right now, this is one of the best processors for gaming out there, and thus, it’s a perfect fit here. As for specifications, it comes with 20 cores (8 P-Cores and 4 E-Cores), 28 threads, and a 5.6GHz boost clock. And, it can also be overclocked using a Z-series motherboard.

Motherboard: Since, we want the best gaming experience, we are using a Z-series motherboard, specifically the MSI Pro Z790-A WiFi DDR5 motherboard. Using this motherboard, we can overclock the i7 14700KF. As for the other specifications and features, this motherboard comes with support for up to 256GB of DDR5 RAM with speeds up to 7200MHz, optimized VRM layout, enhanced heatsink, reinforced PCIe slots, PCIe Gen 5 support, USB 3.2 Gen2, wireless support, and a lot more.

RAM: For the best and smoothest gaming experience, we got 64GB of fast DDR5 RAM using the Adata XPG Lancer RGB DDR5 64GB (32GB x 2) 6000MHz RAM kit. 64GB with 6000MHz is crazy good for gaming, and hence why we are using it.

Graphics Card: We want to ensure that you can play the most demanding games out there on 2K resolution at the highest settings and still get buttery smooth frame rates, and to do it, we got the Zotac GeForce RTX 4080 Trinity OC 16GB graphic card. Just like any RTX 4080 out there, this is superb for gaming, and can easily play games not only in 2K but even in 4K.

CPU Cooler: Being a very powerful processor, the Intel Core i7 14700KF also heats a lot and to ensure that it does not get too hot, we have the MSI MAG Coreliquid E360 ARGB. This 360mm liquid cooler is more than capable of keeping the temperatures of the processor in check. Apart from that, it looks stylish and also has ARGB lighting.

Storage: For such a high-end gaming PC build, we need a storage device that’s not only large in capacity but is also superfast. The Western Digital Blue SN580 1TB M.2 NVM ticks both boxes.

SMPS: We are using multiple super-powerful components in this PC configuration, hence we need a beefy PSU, and the MSI MPG A1000G is just that. This is a 1000W ATX 3.0 PSU that also features 80+ Gold certification and is fully modular.

Case, Fans, Accessories: Now to top it all off, we have the gorgeous, elegant, and premium Lian Li O11 Dynamic as our cabinet. And, we have added 6x Cooler Master CF120 ARGB fans and the Deepcool FH-04 fan hub to complete our build.

The combination of Intel Core i7 14700KF with the Zotac GeForce RTX 4080 Trinity OC 16GB graphic card, and Adata XPG Lancer RGB DDR5 64GB (32GB x 2) 6000MHz RAM kit makes this PC an absolute beast when it comes to gaming.

Forget 2K / QHD / 1440p, with this PC configuration you will be able to play the most demanding games out there in 4K at the highest settings, and still get 60+ FPS at all times without any issues. That’s just how powerful this PC configuration is.

If you want to play eSports and competitive titles like CS2, Valorant, DOTA 2, Rainbow Six Siege, etc. then you will consistently get triple-digit frame rates in those games regardless of the visual settings.

The chart below will give you a fair idea of the type of gaming performance that you can get with a PC configuration of this caliber.
