Guide To Buying The Best Gamer PC

By Ann Roberts


The gaming industry is a multi-billion dollar industry with dozens of major hardware developers competing to increase their share of the market. The number of video game developers is always increasing by the day with millions of games developed. If you like playing video games, you should buy the most powerful gamer PC to ensure you enjoy the best gaming experience.

A PC is just a computer, whether it is used for gaming, word processing, watching movies or storing information. Therefore, you should always pay attention to the specifications of the computer when looking for a PC for gaming purposes. Please note that a computer does not need to be labeled gaming computer to be used for gaming purposes.

The size of the screen that comes with a gaming PC matters a lot. After all, the display is an important part of any video game experience. Therefore, you should take your time to identify computers with large screens that can handle not only high definition images, but also 3D images. After all, the future of the gaming industry is in 3D.

The most important factor to consider when looking for a gaming computer is the RAM. This is because the RAM affects both speed and performance of the computer. Therefore, you need to buy a computer with the biggest RAM possible. Think 8GB or 16GB RAM as opposed to 1GB-2GB of random access memory. The number of RAM slots on the motherboard should also be checked to ensure there is room for expansion.

Data storage capacity is not a key factor of consideration when looking for a gaming PC. While you will need some storage space, what is much more important is the read/write speed of the storage medium. In that regard, you may want to buy a PC with SSD storage instead of a HDD. Alternatively, you can buy a computer with both devices, but with the SSD as the primary storage medium.

If there is one thing that can affect your gaming experience significantly, it is the speed of the CPU. You want a computer with at least two separate processors, each of which has at least four processing channels/cores. This will ensure you enjoy the most superior gaming experience possible. Be sure to also buy a PC with chips made by the most reputable chip makers.

Obviously, you will want to play video games with a friend, sibling, spouse or kids. Therefore, the ideal gaming computer should have several ports to allow for connection of several control pads. The ideal PC should also have wireless capability to make it possible for you to use wireless control pads. This will ensure you enjoy a superior gaming experience.

It is always recommended you make a list of computers that meet your technical and design specifications before making a purchase. Be sure to also list their prices to make price comparisons easier. When looking for an affordable gaming computer, you need to do your research both online and offline. Consider visiting local electronics and gaming outlets, shopping malls and departmental stores among other places where gaming PCs can be found.
