A Content Warning PC build under R20,000 is easy to plan, since the co-op horror game is light on hardware. The budget comfortably covers smooth 1080p play plus headroom for streaming with friends.

Quick Answer

For under R20,000, target an RTX 4060, a Ryzen 5 7600, 16GB DDR5, and a 1TB NVMe. That runs Content Warning at 1080p high above 100fps with room to record and voice chat, and handles most modern titles at 1080p.

Why Content Warning is undemanding

The game's stylised visuals run easily on mid-range hardware, so an RTX 4060 is plenty. That keeps the build affordable while leaving performance headroom for the recording and voice chat the game is built around. A budget B650 board around R2,500 keeps this co-op build affordable while running DDR5 cleanly.

Balanced parts for co-op

Pair the RTX 4060 with a Ryzen 5 7600 for smooth frame pacing during chaotic four-player sessions. Add 16GB of DDR5 and a 1TB NVMe on a budget B650 board so recording and the game run together without stutter.

Built for streaming the laughs

With CPU and RAM headroom, this rig records gameplay and runs Discord smoothly while you play. A 1080p 144Hz monitor keeps the action crisp, and the efficient parts stay quiet during long co-op nights. A 1080p 144Hz panel keeps the chaotic co-op action crisp while the efficient parts stay quiet during sessions.
