What Changes Between R60,000 and R100,000

This is the range where nothing in a build has to be chosen because it was the cheapest part that fitted. The graphics card can be picked for the display rather than the budget, memory and storage stop being rationed, and the case, cooler and supply can be selected for noise and longevity instead of the lowest figure that works. What the range does not do is scale performance in line with price.

Between the bottom and the top of this bracket, most of the difference lands on one component. The graphics tier changes and everything else moves comparatively little. The honest question at this level is therefore not what the most expensive machine can do, but where the money stops appearing on screen and starts buying quieter fans, more memory than games use, and a chassis you enjoy owning.
