Some things to consider before you build your Gaming PC
If you want to build your own PC for gaming, you should have a few considerations in mind. We’re going to state that in the following section.
Understand your needs
You should know exactly the kind of games you are going to be playing on your gaming PC, and this should tie in perfectly with your budget. If you are a beginner and your budget is lean, understand that you can still play your games, but you can’t be able to do so at the highest settings and resolution. Your budget determines exactly the playing experience to expect.
If you are a hardcore gamer, are a regular attendee of LAN parties, and are going to be playing the latest titles like Metro Exodus, Borderlands 3, Doom Eternal, Apex Legends, Assassins Creed Odyssey, Monster Hunter: World, Far Cry New Dawn, or Hitman 2 on the highest resolutions and settings, then your budget will likely hit the $1000 plus category.
For VR gaming, not all titles are VR-Ready, and you must buy a VR-Ready processor and graphics card. Click here to jump to the guide for a VR gaming PC. Otherwise, scroll to the next section for our guide on building a PC for gaming based on 3 budget ranges.
