💸 Gaming on a Budget: Where to Spend and Where to Save
Juil
Gaming doesn’t have to be expensive — you just need to know where to spend your money and where to cut back without sacrificing performance. Here’s how to build a budget-friendly gaming setup in 2025, especially if you’re buying in Morocco.
💾 1. Where to Spend 💰
🧠 CPU & GPU – The Heart of Gaming
You’ll want to allocate the biggest portion of your budget here. Look for:
- Mid-range CPUs like Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel i5 12400F
- GPUs like RTX 3060 / RX 6600 / RTX 4060 (used or promo)
💡 These offer excellent performance for 1080p & 1440p gaming.

💻 SSD – Don’t Game on an HDD!
A 256GB or 512GB NVMe SSD can dramatically cut load times and system lag.
- Spend ~400–600 MAD for fast storage
- Crucial, Kingston, or WD are solid brands
🖥️ Monitor – Don’t Go Too Cheap
A low-latency 144Hz monitor improves gameplay more than you think. It’s worth spending a little more than on a 60Hz basic screen.
💡 2. Where to Save 🔻
🧠 RAM – 16GB is Enough (for Now)
- Stick with 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4
- Avoid RGB or overclocked kits if you’re tight on cash
🖱️ Keyboard & Mouse
You can start with decent budget peripherals:
- Mechanical feel keyboards (starting ~149 MAD)
- Lightweight gaming mice (~99–199 MAD)
Upgrade later when your budget allows.
💼 PC Case & PSU
As long as it’s:
- Well-ventilated
- Comes from a trusted brand
- Has enough power for your GPU (500W+)
…you don’t need to go high-end here.
❓ FAQ – Gaming on a Budget Morocco
Can I build a gaming PC for under 6000 MAD?
Yes, especially with used GPUs or entry-level builds. Start small, upgrade over time.
Is a console better than a budget PC?
Depends. Consoles are great out of the box, but PCs are more flexible, upgradeable, and useful beyond gaming.

Yes — start with 720p 30fps settings using OBS and a USB microphone under 600 MAD.
