What you then need to decide is whether you want to go AMD or Intel for the supporting cast. The Intel 13th Gen Core i9 chips are excellent gaming processors, and deliver a huge amount of multi-threaded performance for any kind of productivity workload you'd care to throw its way. But, on the flip side, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D delivers the highest potential gaming performance you can get from a CPU thanks to its 3D V-cache chiplet.

This Fierce EXILE RGB gaming PC has been designed with diehard gamers in mind. This powerful piece of hardware will allow you to play the newest releases with ease. It does not offer the latest tech like the Ryzen 5 processor, but the Ryzen 3 process is more than able to handle intensive applications. With 8GB of DDR4 RAM provided, you can enjoy the latest games as the designers intended. Prefer air cooling? There are RGB air coolers, too. We recently tried out Phononic’s Hex 2.0 cooler, which has a side-mounted RGB logo controllable via software. Most other CPU air coolers we’ve seen don’t have lighting built-in, or are paired with a single-color LED fan, like this one from Deepcool. If you're just dabbling in RGB, a synced keyboard and mouse light show might be your limit, but it’s another thing altogether to completely engulf your PC case, gaming monitor, and desk in splendid unified brilliance. It is a thing of beauty when you get it right, and it has the power to brighten a long, boring workday.

Installation was foolproof thanks to magnets built into the LED strips and an included extension cord. No, you don’t have to. We have a vast range of ready-made and tested gaming PCs that you can select. Customised builds are for gamers that have specific gaming rigs in mind. Is it hard to build a gaming PC? Several pre-programmed controllers are available that work just like some of the other kits we've tested here but with literally hundreds of patterns and lighting combinations. More advanced users can use Arduino boards or a Raspberry Pi to program their lighting effects. For our DIY setup, we decided to go with the simple route and used a remote-controlled mini controller. 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.

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.

On the CPU front, AMD and Intel are in a race to see who can provide the most power to gamers. Mainstream speed lies chiefly with the Core i5, Core i7, and Core i9 CPU options on the Intel side, and the Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7, and Ryzen 9 on the AMD side. You want value for money: The deal above is a rarity for Alienware PCs. More often than not you'll be paying well over the odds for a machine that performs notably worse than an equivalently priced system from pretty much anyone else.

The Vibox I-7 is a good choice of pre-built gaming PC. This quality desktop features an integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics chip, along with an AMD Ryzen 3-3200G Quad Core AM4 processor. There is also a 240GB solid state drive included here. That's because in late 2022 AMD launched its newest generation: those Ryzen 7000 processors based on the new Zen 4 architecture. We tested and reviewed several of these chips at launch (the aforementioned Ryzen 7 7700X and the Ryzen 9 7950X), and both produce super-impressive performance across the board. However, they still couldn't quite top the best Alder Lake solutions for gaming. Whether you build your own gaming PC or buy a ready-made option, you are always assured of the best quality from Fierce PC. However, building your own PC allows you to tailor the PC to your budget and your needs. How long will it take to get my gaming PC? The parallel heart in any gaming system to its GPU is its main processor chip or CPU. While the GPU specializes in graphics quality and some physics calculations, the CPU takes care of everything else, and it also determines how able your PC will be for demanding tasks that require non-graphics calculations. You want a rig with some flair: The chassis is great for the minimalist, but if you want a showpiece PC for your money then you might want something with a Lian Li O11D or some such case instead.
