Building a PC for Hades on a R15,000 SA budget

An R15,000 SA build is far more than Hades needs, so this budget really buys a capable all-rounder that runs Hades at high frame rates and handles current AAA titles too.

Quick Answer

At R15,000, a Ryzen 5 7600 with an RTX 4060, 16GB DDR5 and a 1TB NVMe SSD runs Hades well past 200 fps at 1080p. The same build handles current AAA games at 1080p-1440p Ultra, so the value extends far beyond this one light roguelike.

What R15,000 Buys

A Ryzen 5 7600 (around R4,000), an RTX 4060 (R6,500), 16GB DDR5, a 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD, a B650 board and a 600W PSU fit R15,000. Hades barely uses this hardware, so the build is really aimed at the broader library you will play alongside it.

Hades Performance

On this build, Hades runs well past 200 fps at 1080p and stays smooth at 1440p, easily saturating any monitor. Hades II runs similarly. The frame rates are so high that the GPU is mostly idle, leaving full headroom for demanding modern games.

Why This Build Makes Sense

At R15,000 you are buying a strong 1080p-to-1440p machine that treats Hades as trivial. It runs current AAA titles at 1080p Ultra 80-120 fps, so the budget delivers real value beyond Hades, which any cheaper system would also run perfectly. For storage, Hades installs small and loads instantly off the NVMe SSD, so the bulk of the 1TB drive is free for the demanding modern games this build is genuinely built to run alongside the roguelike.

FAQ

Is R15,000 overkill for Hades?

For Hades alone, yes. The build's value is running current AAA titles at 1080p-1440p Ultra, with Hades running past 200 fps as an effortless bonus.

What FPS does Hades hit on a R15,000 build?

Well past 200 fps at 1080p on a Ryzen 5 7600 with an RTX 4060, easily saturating any monitor you pair with it.

What else can this build run?

Current AAA titles at 1080p Ultra 80-120 fps and entry 1440p, making it a strong all-rounder rather than a Hades-only machine.
