The best computers for gaming are simply the ones that are the fastest and most up to date. In many cases, this makes them way beyond the specs of gaming consoles regardless of how recent or eagerly awaited they might be. And gaming is not the only thing a state-of-the-art PC is good for. If you’re interested in graphic design or productivity software to make use of a free online calendar maker, then a custom-built PC has excellent graphics and rapid frame-rates.
Gamers the world over are eagerly anticipating the launch of the PS5 and XBox series X. These consoles are powerful gaming machines that will take the market by storm, but they’re still no match for a custom built gaming PC that you don’t have to wait around for. A custom PC will offer fast-loading SSD, flawless ray-tracing, massive RAM capacities, 4K resolution, and 60+ FPS frame rates. While these numbers are comparable to the latest consoles (as yet unreleased) with a custom PC you can have them right now. On top of that a custom PC can be upgraded with the latest technology on release.
One option is to build your own custom PC, tailored to your specific requirements. For instance, if your favorite game is Minecraft, building the best PC for playing Minecraft would allow you to play to the fullest. While this is possible it can be daunting to first-timers who may have to spend a lot of time researching, and may lose out if they get something wrong. A better way is to buy a custom PC already optimized for your gaming needs. There won’t be much difference in the price and you get gaming straight away.
Alien Aurora R10
The Alien Aurora R10 is easily the best gaming PC on the market at the moment. It’s stylish, powerful, and especially user-friendly. Aptly named the Alien Aurora, it looks like a pod from the Nostromo. Sleek and curvy, it looks great in either white or black. Inside, the Aurora R10 can handle up to an Intel Core i9 or Ryzen 9 processor and multiple Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards. This means it can play the best VR games around with ease. It is also fully customisable and even non-enthusiasts will be able to open up the chassis and swap in the latest hardware.
Cyberpower Extreme VR
This machine is ideal for any gamer who wants high settings at a good price. Under the hood there’s a core I5 processor and Nvidia graphics card that can run mainstream games easily. It can also handle VR. One drawback of the Cyberpower Extreme VR is it’s bulky design, however it is easy to open and upgrade even for beginners. It comes with a cyber power keyboard and mouse, all for $800.
Dell G5 5090
The Dell G5 doesn’t live up to the previous two machines in terms of processing power or gaming quality, that said it is a near-competitor for a cut down price. The Dell G5 contains a modest core i3 processor and Nvidia GTX 1650 graphics card. It has a sleek chassis that is easy to open and upgrade. A solid entry level machine that can be made more powerful over time.
