I want to start Fallout on the cheap" An $800 RTX 4060 system is the perfect start.

If you've been watching the new "Fallout" TV show and want to play the game on a gaming PC, you may be put off by the price of the best system you can get your hands on. But you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to enjoy a high-quality 1080p gaming experience.

First up is the Core i5 12400F processor, three generations old, but with 6 cores and 12 threads, it's more than capable of handling most games, and as our 12400F review proved, it's a great little processor, fast and cool.

Pairing it with the GeForce RTX 4060 is wise. This graphics card has 3,072 shaders and a boost clock of 2,460 MHz, but it often runs faster than that. This is because Nvidia's latest chips consume relatively little energy, and the RTX 4060 often consumes much less than the 115 W limit. Best of all, it supports the latest version of DLSS, which allows AI-based upscaling, frame generation, and ray tracing denoising in games that offer those features.

To keep costs down, Yeiyan is equipped with 16 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM. While this is not blazingly fast, it is more than enough memory for the majority of today's games. While this is not blazingly fast, it is more than enough memory for the majority of today's games. And when it is no longer so, it can easily be replaced with a 32GB dual channel kit.

Despite the ever-increasing price of SSDs, this gaming PC comes with a 1TB storage drive. Details about its type are unknown, but it should be fast enough. It is certainly far superior to those found in lower-priced PCs. From the product images, it looks like there is a second M.2 slot, so if you run out of storage, you could slot in one of the best budget SSDs and put even more games on it.

For only $800, you can get a really nice gaming PC. Combined with a great 1080p monitor, you'll have endless fun roaming the lands of Fallout 4 (there's a lot of land to explore). The war may not change, but the price of the PC will, thankfully!
