PS5 Equivalent Gaming PC Build in India (2025) – Cost, Specs & Performance Comparison

If you're a gamer in India, you've probably wondered: "Should I buy a PS5 or build a gaming PC with similar performance?" While the PS5 offers great plug-and-play convenience, a custom gaming PC gives you more flexibility, upgradability, and access to a larger game library (including Xbox Game Pass and Steam sales).

So, in this guide, I’ll break down a PS5-equivalent gaming PC build in India (2025)—covering specs, performance, and cost. Let’s dive in!

PS5 Specs (For Reference)

Before building an equivalent PC, let’s recap the PS5’s hardware:

• CPU: AMD Zen 2-based 8-core/16-thread (3.5 GHz)

• GPU: AMD RDNA 2 (10.28 TFLOPs, ~RTX 2070 Super / RX 6700 level)

• RAM: 16GB GDDR6 (shared between CPU & GPU)

• Storage: 825GB NVMe SSD (5.5GB/s read speed)

• Resolution & FPS: Targets 4K @ 60Hz or 1440p @ 120Hz (with upscaling)

A PC matching this should deliver similar or better performance while allowing future upgrades.

• Price: ₹6,000

4. Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD (Gen4)

• Speed: ~5,000 MB/s (similar to PS5’s SSD)

Performance Comparison: PC vs PS5

• 1080p Gaming: Easily 100+ FPS in most games (better than PS5’s locked 60FPS).

• 1440p Gaming: 80-120 FPS (PS5 often uses upscaling, while PC runs native).

• 4K Gaming: ~60 FPS (similar to PS5, but PC has DLSS/FSR advantages).

• Ray Tracing: PS5 has decent RT, but RTX 3060 Ti / RX 6700 XT performs similarly.

• Game Library: PC wins with Steam, Game Pass, mods, and emulators.

Should You Build This or Buy a PS5?

✅ Go for PC if you:

✔ Want higher FPS & upgradability.
✔ Prefer mouse & keyboard for shooters/RTS.
✔ Use PC for work, streaming, or emulation.

✅ Go for PS5 if you:

✔ Prefer plug-and-play simplicity.
✔ Love PS5 exclusives (Spider-Man 2, God of War).
✔ Don’t want to tweak settings.

Final Verdict

A ₹87,000 gaming PC in 2025 matches (or beats) the PS5 in performance while offering more flexibility. However, if you just want hassle-free gaming, the PS5 (₹45,000-50,000) is still a great deal.
