Budget PC builders finally get a straight answer on what €800 actually buys in 2019.

Italian tech channel Prophecy Tech put that question to the test with a full benchmark run of a gaming rig built around the GTX 1660, pricing the whole system in the €750-800 bracket and running it through eight of the most-played titles of the moment. The video, titled “PC Gaming 750-800€ GTX 1660 – 8 GIOCHI PROVATI!”, is built for one purpose: show exactly what frame rates a mid-range Ryzen build delivers at 1080p before anyone spends a euro.

• The build pairs an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 six-core CPU with an MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ventus XS 6G OC, backed by 16GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 running at 3200MHz.
• Storage comes from a 500GB Kingston A2000 NVMe M.2 SSD, powered by a Cooler Master 650W MasterWatt Lite supply inside a Cooler Master MasterBox MB511 case.
• Across eight benchmarked games at max settings, results ranged from CS:GO’s 200 average FPS down to The Witcher 3’s 70 FPS.

The Build Sheet

The parts list reads like a checklist for anyone shopping the €800 tier right now. The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 handles the CPU side, six cores and twelve threads that were still one of the best value picks in that price range in mid-2019, matched to an MSI B450M Pro-VDH Max motherboard. On the GPU side sits the MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ventus XS 6G OC, a card that undercut the RTX 2060 while staying well ahead of the aging GTX 1060 in raw 1080p throughput.

Rounding things out is 16GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 in a 2x8GB kit clocked at 3200MHz, a 500GB Kingston A2000 NVMe M.2 SSD for the OS and installed games, and a Cooler Master 650W MasterWatt Lite power supply feeding it all inside a Cooler Master MasterBox MB511 chassis. Nothing on the list is exotic — that’s the point. Anyone weighing this build against a pre-built alternative gets a direct price-to-performance comparison instead of guesswork.

Frame Rates Across Eight Titles

The eight-game gauntlet covers a wide spread of genres, and the numbers hold up well for a system priced under €800. Apex Legends averaged 110 FPS on the highest settings, while Fortnite pushed to 120 FPS. Rainbow Six Siege led the shooter-heavy pack at 150 FPS, and CS:GO topped the entire test at 200 FPS.

Battlefield V settled in at 100 FPS, PUBG landed at 80 FPS, and Doom Eternal matched it at 80 FPS on max settings. The Witcher 3 came in lowest of the eight at 70 FPS — still comfortably playable at 1080p, just a reminder that CD Projekt Red’s open-world RPG remains one of the heavier lifts in the group even years after launch.

CS:GO topped out at 200 FPS on max settings — the ceiling of the entire eight-game test.

Budget Implications of Current Data

The takeaway from Prophecy Tech’s run is that the Ryzen 5 2600 and GTX 1660 combination doesn’t force a settings compromise across this lineup — every one of the eight games stayed above 70 FPS at max settings, and most cleared triple digits. For shoppers comparing components rather than a finished box, that price-to-performance math is exactly the kind of decision point tracked on PC builds coverage more broadly, and it lines up with the same logic behind other recent breakdowns of what it takes to push a PC to its graphical limit.

At €750-800, the parts list leaves almost no fat to trim — a 650W PSU, a 500GB NVMe drive, and a case that isn’t cutting corners on airflow. For anyone chasing 1080p high-refresh gaming without stepping up to an RTX card, this is the exact shopping list to screenshot before walking into a PC parts shop.
