5 Things To Consider When Buying a Gaming PC

May 3, 2022

A gaming PC is definitely a huge investment. That’s why you need to do your due diligence when buying one. However, there are a lot of choices on the market, which makes it even harder to select one. The following factors should be put into consideration when getting a gaming PC:

1. The CPU

This should be a very important consideration because the CPU is the computer’s brain. If it isn’t up to the task, then the rest of the computer will be adversely affected as well. Even though you’re looking to buy a gaming computer, the CPU doesn’t have to be the most powerful on the market. The baseline for entry-level gaming PCs should be a four-thread/four-core CPU. However, go for a twelve-thread/six-core CPU if you’re looking for a more advanced system.

2. Graphics card

This component is vital to the kind of level you’ll be able to play most games. Every modern title now requires a high-functioning graphics card for the game to run smoothly. Even though you could make use of an integrated graphics card in a handful of AMD and Intel systems, these are at the low rung of the ladder in terms of performance. This is because you’ll have to use the very low graphic resolution and settings.

3. RAM

You’ll need a significant amount of RAM to be able to use your gaming PC without hitches. Admittedly, games don’t require that much RAM to function, but they do need sufficient RAM to run well. A lot of modern titles will work well with 8GB RAM – as far as you own a great graphics card. For context, all-in-one Lenovo gaming PCs come with very good RAM and graphics cards, so that’s worth considering. If your RAM isn’t enough, you will likely not be able to run multiple programs while playing a game.

4. Storage drive

The type and capability of the storage drive you get will go a long way in determining how fast and smooth you will enjoy the gaming experience on your new gaming PC. The main options available to use are a hard disk drive (HDD) and a solid-state drive (SSD). You can also opt for M.2 NVMe and M.2 SATA solid-state drives.

5. Monitors

The plural form of the word is used here because a lot of gamers prefer to own at least two or three monitors. Normally, your options are VA, TN, and IPS monitors, but since you plan to use them for gaming, it is advisable to go for either the TN or IPS monitors. IPS monitors have a better color functionality as well as viewing angles, but the refresh rate isn’t as good. As for TN monitors, their refresh rate is higher, but their color accuracy and viewing angles are not up to that standard.

Final thoughts

Even though there are other components you will have to purchase (e.g., mouse, keyboard, extra cooling, etc.), these 5 components are the most significant. You need to address them first before you consider any others. Good luck in your search!
