PC games are more accessible than ever. Thanks to digital distribution, games can be bought and downloaded from the comfort of your couch.
But if you want to get into PC gaming experience, you’ll need a gaming PC that can handle modern titles, like Fry Cry 5 or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
But even if you’re already set up with a powerful gaming PC, you’ll still need games to play. And that’s where this guide comes in.
We’ve put together all the details you need to know about component, storage, and upgrades. We’ll also give you some of the biggest game recommendations, so you can start right away after completing your gaming setup.
Before you start assembling your gaming PC, it’s important to have a solid idea of what you want to do with it.
Do you want to play something casual on the couch, or do you want to run the latest collection at 4K resolution?
There are lots of different component that can go into a gaming PC, so it’s important to know what you’re looking for.
CPU:
We recommend a mid-range processor if you’re going to be gaming on the PC as well as streaming videos and playing some casual games. This sensitive component will give you the best balance between power and cost.
GPU:
The graphics card is the heart of a gaming PC. A high-end GPU will cost more than a mid-range one, but it will also allow you to play the latest games at 4K resolution. The card will also handle all your videos and streaming without breaking a sweat.
Motherboard:
A motherboard is the central component of your PC. It’s where all the other parts connect, and it’s where you’ll plug in your CPU and GPU. If you’re just getting started, it’s worth looking for a small motherboard size that comes with built-in Wi-Fi.
