Planning a Atomic Heart rig around a R25,000 budget? Here is a concrete, SA-priced parts list that targets the right performance tier without overspending on parts Atomic Heart will never stress.

Quick Answer

A R25,000 Atomic Heart build at Evetech centres on a RTX 4070 SUPER or RX 7800 XT and Ryzen 7 7700 or Core i5-14600KF, which targets 70-100 fps at 1440p high with DLSS or FSR Quality. Round it out with 32GB DDR5-6000, a 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD and a 750W 80+ Gold for a stable, 1440p high machine. Atomic Heart is a demanding UE-style shooter with heavy lighting, and this loadout handles it with headroom for the rest of your library.

Recommended R25,000 parts list

  • GPU: RTX 4070 SUPER or RX 7800 XT
  • CPU: Ryzen 7 7700 or Core i5-14600KF
  • RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000
  • Storage: 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD
  • PSU: 750W 80+ Gold Here in SA, every part here is stocked locally at Evetech with SA warranty, so you avoid grey-import support headaches. This combination is tuned for 1440p high and leaves a clean upgrade path on the same platform.

What Atomic Heart actually demands

Atomic Heart is a demanding UE-style shooter with heavy lighting. On the build above you should see 70-100 fps at 1440p high with DLSS or FSR Quality, with the RTX 4070 SUPER or RX 7800 XT doing the heavy lifting and the Ryzen 7 7700 or Core i5-14600KF keeping 1% lows steady. Turn on DLSS or FSR where available to claw back frames in the most demanding scenes. A 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD also cuts load and shader-compile waits, which matters more than most buyers expect.

Where to spend and where to save at R25,000

Put the money into the GPU and a strong CPU first, since those set your frame rate ceiling. Do not skimp on the PSU — a 750W 80+ Gold from a reputable brand protects the whole build and runs quieter under load. RAM at 32GB DDR5-6000 is the comfort floor today; going wider on storage later is cheap, so a single fast NVMe now is fine.
