Which components should be preferred?
Buying a gaming PC is one thing… But how do its features and capabilities differ from a traditional computer? In this article we will list some components to analyze before any purchase: it could prove useful for your long journey in search of the computer of your dreams, and it will surely help you decipher a gamer language, in the end, not that complicated!
A good processor, you choose!
Today, newer gaming computers are mostly equipped with Inter Core i5 or i7 processors with large memory capacities, for example up to 32GB on Alienware and Asus.
For the uninitiated, let’s say that the processor is used to perform the various tasks that are required of the computer and the more “core” and memory it has, the more efficient and therefore faster it is.
In our opinion, this is the first point to compare before embarking on the purchase of a gaming PC, as the processor is the foundation of any computer.
Goodbye hard disk, hello SDD!
To do things right, don’t overlook the SSD: no matter how much you acquire the best in terms of graphics card and processor, it will be useless if your hard drive is not making the most of their capabilities .
Hard drives are evolving very little for years, while new technologies have surprised us: less expensive than an SSD, it will still be slower and less impact resistant than an SSD, and performance is not optional for gaming computers.
You prefer to put the price in a reliable and efficient component: Hard disks find their uses for many other needs! (like video editing that need much written)
Don’t forget your (3D) graphics card!
Unlike hard drives, 3D cards are constantly evolving and adapt to increasingly demanding demands and needs. 3D cards are THE point for which laptops have often been criticized compared to desktop computers – their lag has often been considerable, but today that’s quite excused as new gaming laptop models offer nearly equivalent power to their siblings. much larger in terms of ergonomics thanks to the release of AMD Radeon R9, Nvidia GeForce GTX 800M and GTX 900M, among others.
And also !
Having power and good resolution is fine, but having the right tools to play optimally is better! Therefore, “accessory” products such as keyboard, mouse, headphones, screen, etc. should not be neglected.
Brands like Razer and Logitech are increasingly specializing in gaming hardware with an emphasis on responsiveness, comfort, feel, functionality but also very aesthetic finishes such as backlighting and a futuristic design. The screen finish, preferably matte in this area, will also have a major impact on player comfort in the short and long term.
