Each answer to a question will change which type of computer you’re looking for.

Are you buying a PC just to play one game, or do you intend on playing many?What are these games?Are those games graphically demanding?Do you want to have a future-proofed PC that can play triple-A titles with high-end graphics for years to come?Do you intend to do anything other than play games on your PC, such as streaming or video rendering?Do you want to play games on the go, do you travel often, or would you want a more permanent rig at home?

If you intend to primarily play an older game like Overwatch or Rainbow Six Siege, you wouldn’t need something incredibly powerful to run your game, even at the highest graphical settings. If you want to dive into newer games, like the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, Control, Final Fantasy XXIV, and more, you’ll need a beefier setup. If you travel a lot, there are strong contenders for gaming laptops. And if you want to multitask to stream or work, you’ll want a computer with a specific type of processor."
