Featured Gaming PC Desktops

A gaming PC is a specifically designed desktop computer to play video games. These computers typically have high-performance hardware components, such as powerful processors, high-end graphics cards, and fast memory, which allow them to run demanding games smoothly and at high resolutions. They often feature advanced cooling systems and other customisations to improve their performance and durability under heavy use. You can purchase a pre-built spec or customise one to suit your needs, budget and preferences as a gamer.

A good gaming computer can handle modern AAA game demands without performance issues such as lagging or freezing. Several factors contribute to this matter.

A powerful graphics card is a crucial component of a good computer, enabling smooth gameplay and high-quality graphics. The graphics processing unit (GPU) performs fast calculations to render images and animations quickly, freeing up space on the system for other essential tasks. It is the most critical part of a system since it generates the images and scenes you see on screen, making gameplay happen.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ and AMD Radeon RX cards are graphics commonly used in gaming computers. Both types offer high-quality graphics and fast processing speeds but have different features and capabilities. The choice between the two largely depends on personal preference and budget.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ cards are recognised for their ray tracing technology, enabling more realistic lighting and shadow effects in games. They also provide advanced AI capabilities and DLSS technology to enhance performance. On the other hand, AMD Radeon RX cards offer similar cutting-edge features. Still, they are widely regarded as a better value-for-money option, making them a favoured choice for gamers and content creators.

We provide a vast range of graphics cards in our PC configurators, including the GeForce RTX™ 40 series, GeForce RTX™ 30 series, GeForce GTX™ 16 series, AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series, and the AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series. GeForce RTX™ 40 series, GeForce RTX™ 30 series, GeForce GTX™ 16 series, AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series, and the AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series.

For a seamless experience, a powerful and efficient processor, also known as a CPU, is crucial. It is responsible for processing data and instructions from the game and other applications. CPUs are specifically designed to process data at high speeds and thus require significant power to execute instructions and perform various tasks that enable gamers to play the most demanding games without disruptions.

The two best CPU brands are Intel and AMD. They both offer a wide range of processors with different specifications, such as clock speed, number of cores, and power consumption, to cater to different needs and budgets.

Intel CPUs are known for their high clock speeds and single-core performance, which can lead to better performance in certain situations. They are often considered the best choice at the very high end of the performance spectrum.

Alternatively, AMD Ryzen CPUs generally offer more cores and threads for multitasking and heavy workloads, which can result in better performance in tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and streaming. They are often seen as the best value-for-money option. They can offer comparable performance at a lower price than Intel CPUs.

Ultimately, the decision between Intel and AMD CPUs relies on personal requirements and tastes, including the budget, the games played, and other PC tasks. That's why we have a variety of PC configurations with different CPUs, such as the Intel Core 11th, 12th, and 13th generation and the AMD Ryzen 7000 and 5000 Series.

RAM, short for Random Access Memory, is a critical component in any PC as it allows quick data access—a higher amount of RAM results in better multitasking and faster loading times.

For gamers, 8GB of RAM is considered the baseline for AAA games. But for optimal performance, we recommend a capacity between 16-32GB.

Check out our DDR5 RAM range for the best memory available. DDR5 RAM is the newest generation of memory, offering faster speeds, increased bandwidth, and improved power efficiency than previous RAM generations. However, it may only be compatible with some systems or motherboards since it is still relatively new.

Before upgrading to DDR5 RAM, verifying your motherboard's compatibility is essential. Our PC configurator includes DDR5 RAM options from trusted brands like Corsair Vengeance and Kingston Fury. It will verify compatibility with your custom PC specifications.

Your computer's storage drive stores your games, files, and other data. You must have enough space to accommodate game data and other items, such as music and videos.

Although hard disk drives (HDDs) are popular among gamers because they offer more storage capacity for games, they lack start-up speed, especially when lengthy scenes take too long to load before gameplay.

SSDs are a type of storage device that use flash memory chips instead of spinning disks, which makes them faster and more power-efficient. NVMe SSDs are even faster and more efficient than traditional SSDs. They use a protocol called NVMe SSD (Non-Volatile Memory Express Solid State Drives) designed for solid-state storage. This results in quicker data access and transfer speeds, lower latency, and better energy efficiency than hard disk drives SATA-based SSDs.

Despite their advantages over HDDs, some gamers prefer to use an SSD and HDD combination to take full advantage of the fast speed of an SSD and the large capacity of an HDD.

Our PC configurator offers all these options from renowned brands such as Western Digital Black and Western Digital Blue, Kingston Fury, Solidigm, Seagate Firecuda, Seagate Barracuda, Seagate Ironwolf and Samsung to cater to all needs.

Gaming computers generate heat, so good cooling is essential to prevent damage and maintain performance. There are several cooling solutions, including

Air cooling is the most common cooling for gaming PCs. It involves using fans and heat sinks to dissipate heat from the CPU and other components. Considered one of the older methods, Air cooling is inexpensive and easy to install, but you may need more for high-end rigs.

Liquid cooling uses a coolant to transfer heat away from components, making it more efficient than air cooling but also more expensive and complicated to set up. Consider our Hyper Liquid range for a high-end water-cooled PC built by our experts.

All-in-One (AIO) cooling combines air and liquid cooling elements. It typically involves using a fluid cooling system for the CPU and a few other components while using air cooling for the rest of the system.

Which cooling is best for a gaming PC depends on several factors, including the size of the case, the components, and the user's budget and preferences.

Although not necessary for performance, many gamers prioritise the appearance of their computer, opting for a stylish design with unique case aesthetics and LED lighting. This has given rise to various computer cases designed explicitly for gaming, with features such as tempered glass panels, RGB lighting, and custom engraving designs.

Some gaming PCs even incorporate liquid cooling systems with radiant tubing and fluid, adding to the overall visual appeal of the system. Ultimately, the aesthetic design of a computer is a matter of personal preference and can range from minimalist to flashy, depending on the gamer's style.

Overall, a well-rounded gaming computer requires powerful hardware components capable of handling modern games, efficient cooling to prevent overheating, and sufficient storage space for games and other applications. Our team of experts and range of PC specs can assist you in achieving this balance.

To reflect our commitment to delivering the best PC experience, we offer a diverse range of custom and prebuilt specifications that cater to the unique needs of every gamer.
