Our gaming PCs deliver unbeatable performance

Not everyone has time to build your own gaming PC, which is why we offer a wide range of gaming computers with different performance and price points. Whether you're a casual gamer looking for an entry-level cheap gaming PC or fancy yourself as a pro e-sports competitor, you're sure to find a gaming rig which will give you the performance you need.

What is a gaming PC?

A gaming PC is a specialised computer that's built and designed to play video games and give you the best possible performance. Gaming PCs, sometimes called a 'gaming rig', contain top-line graphics cards, processors and cooling units, so that even the most demanding of games can run in high-definition without lagging or stuttering.

What to look for in a gaming PC

When you buy a gaming PC, you need to decide what your gaming priorities are, and what you'll be using your machine for. If you only want to play slightly older games like Overwatch or less graphics-intensive games like Minecraft or Fortnite, you may not need a gaming PC with the highest specs. But if you want to run the latest games in full high-def with a high frame rate, you'll need to do your research. In either case, there are a few essential PC gaming stats you should bear in mind.

• Processor

• Graphics card

• Memory, or RAM

• Storage space

These elements of a gaming PC dictate what kind of games your PC can run, the frames per second (fps) and how quickly programs will load. A cutting-edge processor with a high number of CPU cores and a more advanced graphics card are both requirements of running intense games.

Other things to look for in a gaming PC include cooling - high-performance gaming PCs will generate a lot of heat, so cooling units make sure your PC can handle the heat.

You might also want to check the number of USB slots, to make sure you have space for all of your gaming peripherals like gaming keyboards and gaming mice. Another thing to consider if you're buying a gaming desktop is checking to make sure your PC has wireless capabilities, if plugging into a router isn't feasible with your gaming setup.

How much does a gaming PC cost?

The price of a gaming PC can vary. It is possible to find a cheap gaming PC set-up, but it may have lower specs and struggle to hit 60fps in modern games, or have a hard time with online gaming. You may need to run games at lower graphics settings in some circumstances.

Gaming PC prices entirely depend on the hardware on board. The more powerful the processor and graphics card, and the larger the memory and storage space, the more a gaming PC is likely to cost.

That being said, as technology advances, you can find some incredible cheap gaming PCs in the UK for a price much lower than you would think. If you're looking for the best gaming PC and ready to go all-out, then take a look at some of our pro-level AlphaSync gaming computers.
