Why choose a desktop PC?

Despite the growing popularity of gaming laptops and portable workstations, for those who aren't gaming on the go a desktop PC remains the weapon of choice. Without the power and cooling limitations of a laptop, desktops can handle much higher performance parts than mobile form factors.

Upgrading desktop PCs

Unlike laptops, the individual components of a desktop PC are readily available to buy and can be easily upgraded or swapped out. As a result, a performance desktop can have a significantly longer life-cycle, as the processor, graphics card, and even the motherboard can be replaced individually. This means desktop PCs can have a significantly longer life-span before a complete upgrade is necessary, saving you money in the long term.

What specs do I need to look at when buying a desktop PC?

When looking at new desktop computers, you should consider the processor or CPU first and foremost. This is the most expensive component that everybody will need, and is also one of the most expensive components to update at a later point.

Depending on your intended use total RAM and the installed graphics card are also important, especially if you're planning to play modern AAA games. While a larger HDD or SSD is helpful to have if you're handling a lot of media files, these are among the parts of a PC which can be easily upgraded at a later date.

What is the best desktop computer?

Arguably, it's impossible to say what the best desktop computer is, as it all depends on what you want from the system. However, desk tops with a Ryzen 9 or Core i7 or i9 processor, high speed RAM, an NVIDIA RTX graphics card, and an SSD should breeze through almost anything you can throw at it.
