Quick Answer

For Kimberley gamers, a 1080p gaming PC starts around R15,000 and a 1440p build runs R25,000-R30,000 at Evetech, shipped assembled and stress-tested by national courier in roughly 1-3 working days. A Ryzen 5 7600 plus RTX 5070 build holds 90-120 fps at 1440p high in most titles.

Buying a gaming PC in the Northern Cape

Custom and prebuilt towers are best ordered from a national retailer that assembles, tests and couriers the finished system to Kimberley with full warranty. Delivery runs about 1-3 working days with tracking, which beats the limited local custom stock and removes self-build risk for first-time buyers.

Tiers and SKUs that make sense

For 1080p high at 100-plus fps, a Ryzen 5 7600 plus RTX 5060-class GPU around R15,000 is the value floor. For 1440p at 90-120 fps, step to a Ryzen 5 7600 or 9600X with an RTX 5070 at R25,000-R30,000. Insist on 32GB DDR5, a 1TB Gen4 SSD and at least a 650W 80+ Gold PSU. Kimberley's heat makes case airflow worth specifying, so choose a mesh-front case and a good fan layout. If you are a student on a tighter budget, the R15,000 1080p tier is the smart entry point and upgrades cleanly later, since a single GPU swap takes it to 1440p without replacing the whole platform. Spending more on cooling and a quality PSU now also protects the build through the Northern Cape's hot summers, where weaker units run hotter and age faster.
