This is a hand selected custom PC component build that will answer your question of, what PC should I buy next to play Total Lockdown on. One that has the right gaming hardware to enjoy a great Total Lockdown experience. We are going to choose these parts with the aim of keeping a high FPS rate at top end graphics settings, getting its visuals from a 1080p resolution monitor screen. Todays prices will be checked every few hours to make sure only the best hardware at the best prices will be displayed for this build.
Let’s consider some of the interesting characteristics about this game, to help us build something that matches the sort of game we are considering to build a PC for. As we know it comes under the Action, Adventure genre style categories, which may well influence some of our peripheral selections, ensuring we consider the specifics for the games requirements. Looking at its development the game was built during 2020 and around that period and the devs themselves probably had hardware comparable to some of the latest hardware of that period. In terms of its relative hardware demanding position, it is considered by us as not featuring on our list of most demanding games of today at least at the moment, although that list shifts regularly. Obviously these points help give us a better picture of what we may want in the build, but they are only supporting us because when we choose, it is the best priced components that will find their way into this build today.

Obviously one of the most important components for this build is the graphics card. We can take a look at the best price to performance hardware right now to help deliver a system that can run Total Lockdown at 1080p ultra settings. Looking through today’s graphics card prices we can see that the Radeon RX 560 4GB is today’s best GPU option for this computer and it will work great at this screen resolution. Its price right now is $107.99, and running our hardware tests against that price shows this to be the cheapest but best performer for Total Lockdown. As a point of interest this graphics card has increased its price by $107.99 over the past two weeks. The lowest price recorded by us so far for the Radeon RX 560 4GB is $107.99 recorded at 28th Nov 2019.
MSI B360M PRO-VD Intel mATX LAG1151 motherboard is today’s best buy mobo, that also provides us with the LGA 1151 cpu socket type. Which is ideal for the best performance to price processor we have seen for our build, the Core i3-9100F 4-Core 3.6GHz. This processor is currently priced at a competitive $129.25 and really works well with the Radeon RX 560 4GB. The cheapest price we spotted this cpu for is $59, which was on 27th May 2020.
At $49.46 the MSI B360M PRO-VD Intel mATX LAG1151 motherboard muscles its feature rich chipboard into today’s Total Lockdown PC build. We have checked the mobo prices and found that on 28th Dec 2019, this motherboard was priced at a low of $32.99.
One of the more significant hardware components in this Total Lockdown build is the RAM. We are choosing some complementary and well priced Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz. It is currently priced at $32.99. While among the best priced system memory for this build it will still provide us with the ability to reach our desired FPS for the 1080p ultra setting, that we have been focusing on with this PC. A low price point for this Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz was spotted on 2nd Feb 2020, where we saw it at $29.49.
So now that our core components are all in place we would expect to see around 64 FPS in Total Lockdown at 1080p resolution, on Ultra settings. Make some adjustments to the graphics options and you could boost this up to 89 FPS for High graphics settings.
Bumping up the in game screen resolution to 1440p our expected FPS would be 48 FPS at Ultra graphics setting or around 68 FPS on High.
Ensuring our PC build for Total Lockdown runs some of the more popular games of today competently at 1080p is also something worth considering. Looking at FIFA 21 we see this pc build is likely to get 109FPS on Ultra and 150FPS on High graphics settings. In contrast we can expect Battlefield 6 to return 3FPS on Ultra and 4FPS when lowered to High. Another popular game at the moment is Far Cry 6, which is 0 FPS running at Ultra, and 0 on High graphics settings.
If you are looking for a graphics card from Nvidia instead of the one we have selected in this build then you could try GeForce GTX 2050, which has a 4% worse performance difference, so still similar capabilities. We have chosen it based on its price-performance figure as well, as it is currently priced at $149.99.
