Find the Right Computer at the Right Price
When you’re shopping for a new PC and looking for the best computer price, the most pressing question is: how much is a computer in South Africa? Thanks to growing competition and falling component costs, entry‑level desktops can start as low as R7,000, while premium rigs reach R25,000 and beyond. According to Statista, South Africa’s desktop PC market generated US$37.5 million in revenue in 2025, reflecting steady demand despite economic headwinds.

Explore Computer Box Options for Every Budget
A computer system unit (often called a “computer box”) houses your PC’s core components—case, motherboard, processor, memory, storage, and power supply. Your choice here directly impacts the computer box price. Here’s how to match specs to needs:
- Basic Home & Office Boxes
- CPU: Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3
- RAM: 4–8 GB
- Storage: 256 GB SSD or 1 TB HDD
- Price Range: R7,000–R10,000 (e.g., HP 290 G4 Microtower at R7,489)
- Mid‑Range Systems
- CPU: Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5
- RAM: 8–16 GB
- Storage: 512 GB SSD + optional HDD
- Price Range: R12,000–R16,000 (e.g., Lenovo ThinkCentre Neo 50s at R14,859)
- Gaming PC Boxes
- CPU: Intel Core i5/i7 or Ryzen 5/7
- GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super or RTX 3050 and above
- RAM: 16 GB+
- Price Range: R18,000–R30,000+
Tech analysts note that building a custom gaming PC box can save you 10–15% over pre‑built models, especially if you reuse existing parts or hunt clearance stock.

When selecting your screen, consider:
- Panel Type: IPS for color accuracy, VA for contrast, TN for speed
- Refresh Rate: 60 Hz for general use, 144 Hz+ for smooth gaming
- Resolution: Full HD (1080p) vs. 4K for detailed work
“In 2025, the top monitors combine great color fidelity with fast response times—ideal for both creative pros and gamers,” writes TechRadar Africa PC. CNET’s editors also recommend looking for adaptive‑sync features (G‑Sync or FreeSync) to eliminate screen tearing.
