Quick Answer
Quick answer: Hades barely taxes any modern PC, so at R25,000 you are really building a flexible 1080p/1440p gaming rig that happens to run Hades at a triple-digit frame rate. Even Ryzen 5 8600G integrated Radeon 760M graphics push well past 144 fps at 1080p, so a discrete GPU is purely optional headroom.
Building the R25,000 rig, component by component
At R25,000, buys the jump to comfortable 1440p. A sensible spec list:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 7600
- GPU: RTX 4060 Ti 8GB or RX 7700 XT 12GB
- RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000
- Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
A modern 6-core chip such as the Ryzen 5 8600G handles Hades without ever loading a dedicated card. All of these parts are the kind of components currently stocked at Evetech, so you can match the rig to what is actually in stock rather than a wishlist.
Expected performance for Hades
Hades is a top-down 2D roguelike that runs flawlessly on integrated graphics. Even Ryzen 5 8600G integrated Radeon 760M graphics push well past 144 fps at 1080p, so a discrete GPU is purely optional headroom.
Because the game is so light, the frame rate is effectively capped by your monitor, not the GPU. A 144Hz or 165Hz 1080p panel is the upgrade that you will actually feel, and Evetech stocks high-refresh displays from R2,500 upward.
Upgrade path and what to skip
- Don't over-buy the GPU. This is a light game, so a bigger card only helps other titles you might play.
- Get 32GB if the budget allows. DDR5-6000 dual-channel keeps frametimes flat and future-proofs you against newer releases for a small premium.
- SSD first, always. A 1TB NVMe SSD cuts load times and stutter far more than a marginal GPU bump; modern game installs of 80-120GB fill a 500GB drive fast.
- Buy a quality 650W-750W power supply. It protects the rest of the build and leaves room for a future GPU upgrade without a full swap.
FAQ
Do I need an expensive graphics card for Hades?
No. Hades runs at a high frame rate on integrated graphics or an entry card like the RX 6600. Any spend above an entry GPU is for other, heavier games rather than for Hades itself.
What frame rate will I get at R25,000?
Even Ryzen 5 8600G integrated Radeon 760M graphics push well past 144 fps at 1080p, so a discrete GPU is purely optional headroom. Pair it with a matching high-refresh monitor to actually feel those frames.
Is R25,000 the right amount to spend for Hades?
Yes for a 1080p/1440p build. R25,000 buys the jump to comfortable 1440p. You can step the GPU up or down a tier to match exactly what is in stock at Evetech.
