How to Choose Your Gaming PC by PC Power Up?

Computers are one of the best tools that exist to play games, we know it well. So much so, that it is one of the preferred options for many users when it comes to gaming, even above consoles. And that the latter have hardware and software focused exclusively on playing games. Here are some things to consider about PC components that are available on PC Power Up and these are tested and suggest by experts.

The graphics card (GPU):-

This element is one of the most important in a gaming PC. It delivers the power needed to display games for the graphics part and, depending on its capabilities; you can enjoy one with a higher or lower resolution. We consider that today you need at least a GTX 1660 with 6giga of RAM but for light games like Fortnite a 1650 4giga will be sufficient. For those who want to enjoy recent games with Ray Tracing at 1080p, an RTX 2060 is the minimum.

The Processor (CPU):-

The processor is essential, since all the tasks of a PC necessarily pass through it. If it’s not fast enough, you might have the best graphics card on the market; it won’t use all of its power because the CPU isn’t keeping up. A good GPU / CPU combo is very important for playing; consider a 6-core for gaming and an 8-core for multitasking. You can find more information in our review of processors for gaming.

RAM Or Memory:-

For a good PC that holds up, you need at least 8GB of RAM, but now the standard is 16 Giga. The RAM is connected to the processor; it is used to store the information which will be sent to it. Too low RAM and that’s the tragedy everything is slowed down.

The Hard Drive:-

On a gaming PC, it is strongly recommended to have at least a 256GB SSD to install Windows and games. SSDs are much faster than hard drives (HDDs). A bonus HDD allows you to store the rest of your files or several games;

Keyboard and Mouse:

Not the most important thing, but a good quality gaming keyboard / gaming mouse combo can be decisive in your games;

The Screen:-

This is essential because without a screen, no display, it makes sense. There are a multitude of screens, but be aware that TNs are more affordable and can be of high quality as well, especially for gaming; For small budgets we will therefore opt for a TN panel screen in 1080p and ideally ultra responsive with 1ms.

The Audio System:-

It will be entirely up to you, whether you prefer to play with headphones or with speakers. In this second case, there are PC speakers to be connected, or you can take advantage of those integrated into certain screens (but the quality is often lower).

Wired Network and Wi-Fi:-

To play, it is necessarily preferable to have an Ethernet port on your motherboard. But if you cannot stretch a cable from your box to your PC, opt for a quality Wi-Fi card.
