How to Choose the Best Gaming Computer
It is important to consider the price when buying a pcy for gameing, you must have an amount of ram that allows you to run the newest AAA games with today standards, and a graphics card powerful enough to run them with tought setings.
The latest Alienware Aurora R16, here in an updated design, is a PC tower that can be configured with a 14th-generation Intel processor, up to 64GB of RAM and your choice of GPU.
Asus ROG Ally
Whereas Valve’s Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch handhelds use custom operating systems that run titles designed specifically for their respective hardware, the Ally uses Windows 11, the full fat version – a move that, while somewhat more fiddly on handheld devices (thanks, in part, to Asus’ Armory Crate software complicating the mix), at least means you don’t have to restrict yourself to buying games solely from one store.
Where the Ally has an AMD Ryzen Z1 chip under the hood, and is fitted with a 7-inch 120Hz screen. Like modern gaming controllers, there’s a traditional button layout – with two analogue sticks, four face buttons and a d-pad.
Wi-Fi 6E delivers four times more network capacity and 75 per cent lower latency than current Wi-Fi to ensure glitch-free gaming and streaming even over a congested network.
HP Omen 30L
In May, the HP Omen 30L series was also redesigned, and it retains its status as one of the best gaming PCs around. The glass panels on the front and left side of this mid-tower provide good value.
The fully tested model (about $2,000) has an Intel Core i7-10700K CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super GPU, 16GB of RAM, and cooling via an air-cooling solution.
It bested both the Lenovo Legion Tower 5i and Falcon NW Talon – which also featured the same RTX 3080 card – in both our 3DMark Time Spy benchmark, and soundly in Grand Theft Auto V (if just slightly behind iBuypower and Corsair systems in that title).
Dell XPS 8960
If someone were to design an office PC for a 1980s sitcom, the Dell XPS 8960 would probably be it. But peek inside the beige or black tower, and you’ll find a powerful gaming rig with an Intel (13th generation) CPU and a graphics card that, depending on your choice, can more than handle today’s crop of titles.
Graphics-wise, it will work as well as the Alienware Aurora R15 with an RTX 2080 GPU, and much better in our benchmarks with the optional top-end RTX 4090 fit. Its wired Dell mouse and keyboard count as ‘bland’, but you can swap those out for something more professional if, ya know, you wanted to.
Slim and subtle, this tower provides plenty of room for upgrading, with a front USB A and C port, as well as an SD card reader.
Acer Predator Orion 3000
This great gaming PC is the Acer Predator Orion 3000, which is also suitable for content creation at PC Specialist. An Intel Core i7-10700 8-Core processor provide fast and detailed rendering of content creation content with its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER graphics card. Supported by 16GB DDR4 RAM memory, this gaming PC is currently available at Harvey Norman for A$2,798.
I would add it is also a compact yet beautiful-looking system with remarkable graphics fidelity and gaming performance as well as low power consumption. It is built with a power-efficient CPU, low power consumption and low memory heat.
Perfect for any desk, its flat oblong facade is framed in LED light bars on the left and right and topped by a glowing power button. Predator Sense software can be immediately installed and utilised by the user should they wish to customise RGB lighting effects. For programming and editing, a 512GB SSD is installed and a 1TB HDD serves for game and file storage.
Corsair Vengeance i7200
Looking for a prebuilt PC that plays modern games at 4K resolutions? Check out the Corsair Vengeance i7200, which is loaded with premium CORSAIR components, including an Intel 10th Generation Core processor with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000-series graphics cards.
It’s also an impressively efficient productivity machine, with a blistering multicore Geekbench score of 11,047 and completing our Handbrake video encoding test before we were finished watching the video itself.
Despite having six fans in it, this system is – by virtue of the fans being run at reduced speeds – very quiet. You never hear the Vengeance i7200 when the software is pushing it hard. Plus easy RGB lighting profile management using iCUE (available for Windows, Mac and Linux) and a host of USB ports, along with HDMI output and DisplayPort outputs that are within easy reach on the tower chassis.
