If you are looking for a pre-built gaming PC with everything you need to start playing your favourite game immediately, there are a few considerations to make:
Core Components
- Central Processing Unit (CPU): Both Intel and AMD offer a vast range of high-performance, multi-core processors which gamers love. Our Intel i5 12400F 3.50GHz 6-Core GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB Gaming PC is a great choice if you want to play all modern games on the market
- Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX / GTX and AMD Radeon RX provide the GPUs that allow you to display your games flawlessly without issue.
- Memory (RAM): Depending on the game you want to play, you’ll want at least 16GB of RAM. To be on the safe side, you can always aim for 32GB to future-proof your purchase and make multitasking easier.
- Motherboard (MOBO): You might find an excellent pre-built PC for gaming that you can add to in the future to upgrade your system. If this sounds like something you want to do, look for a motherboard with slots for upgrades and expansion slots. Please note this information may only be available upon request.
Storage
- Solid State Drive (SSD): Boasting ultra-fast loading times and performance, SSDs are excellent for gamers, allowing them to launch into their favourite titles with rapid speed.
Cooling & Power
- Air cooling: A gaming computer with plenty of fans and good airflow is essential to prevent your PC from overheating at critical moments.
- Liquid cooling: If you are looking at a high-end gaming PC, liquid cooling offers better temperature management. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.20GHz 8-Core GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB Gaming PC features Corsair 240MM ARGB AIO Liquid Cooler with exceptional overclocking potential.
- Power Supply (PSU): We ensure the power supply provides suitable wattage to support all components of the computer with ease. All of our power supplies feature at least a 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency-certification by default.
