We already have the Steam hardware stats and there aren’t really relevant changes. Although we see relevant data, more curious than it seems. we will tell you how much does a computer cost according to steam and how much you can save with a better option.
First, you should keep in mind that Steam stats are relative. There are many registered user components that either don’t exist or haven’t been logged in for ages. On the other hand, data from Chinese Internet cafes sometimes appear and end up distorting the real data.
Steam hardware data
We don’t see any major component changes in players. The truth is that it’s not a bad setup on a general level, but there are some things we don’t like. Specifically, we skipped the NVIDIA GTX 1650, an absurd graphics card today, and are left with second on the list. Specifically, the most important general specifications are:
- Processor: 6 cores clocked between 2.3 and 2.69 GHz
- RAM: 16 GB of RAM memory
- Graphic card: NVIDIA RTX 3060
- Resolution: 1080p
- Storage: 1TB SSD
We chose the second in the ranking, the RTX 3060, a modern and easy to find graphics card. The GTX 1650 currently makes no sense, not least because of its limited VRAM. We do not count secondary technologies that are not normally used.
The ideal computer according to Steam components would be this one:
All these components add up to more than 1150 dollars. We have not counted case and power supply, in case you can enjoy it from your current computer. Otherwise, you have to add around 150-200 dollars to this budget.
Note that we have opted for the most powerful on the market, there are much cheaper and better options. For this reason, we have created a much cheaper similar configuration. The difference is so big that you will panic.
Save money with a much more powerful PC
The truth is, you can have as good or better a computer for a lot less money. We opted for a larger amount of RAM and a more or less powerful graphics card. Here are the selected components
These components add up to 711 dollars, which is not a crazy sum. We are talking about a saving of more than 400 dollars, so we have room to improve it. One could opt for a more powerful processor, a slightly better motherboard and a more powerful graphics card. The coolest thing about it is that it has more RAM for less money.
As always, everyone according to their budget can opt for one configuration or another. The truth is that this latest configuration offers excellent value for money.
