Buying a gaming computer?
How much should I spend when buying a gaming computer?
Buying a gaming computer first of all in our opinion requires a committed spend of at least $2000.00 dollars excluding the monitor. If you want to have the best experience then you need to spend the money to ensure reliability and performance. After all every game has different hardware and software requirements. If there is a particular game you enjoy playing we would suggest researching the game and finding out the recommended hardware requirements for the game to run well. We would also recommend exceeding those requirements which we will explain why further in the article. For example the popular sports game NBA 2K recommends the following hardware specifications on your gaming computer. The specifications below are entry level and would be considered a cheap gaming computer by some.
- Intel i5 Processor
- 8 Gig Ram
- 2GB Graphics Card
- 80 Gig storage

Why exceed the manufacturers recommendations?
These days an Intel i5 with 8 gig of ram will barely run Microsoft Office and Windows 10. Most manufacturers will state the bare minimum on their website as they assume that you are only running the operating system and that one particular game. Unfortunately this does not translate to the best gaming experience for you and your friends. When buying a gaming computer at all costs try to avoid a cheap gaming computer as it will only lead to frustration and disappointment.

Why choose AMD when buying a gaming computer?
AMD has come a long way since its arrival. They were once not as reliable and many professionals would avoid them at all costs. However AMD is a fierce rival of Intel and are the absolute masters when building electronic chips for gaming computers. Ultimately AMD chipsets will keep costs down without compromising performance or reliability.
Why 32 gig of RAM?
RAM allows you to run more applications at once. If you are planning on using your gaming computer for both gaming and school then we recommend a minimum of 32 gigabytes of ram.
What are the benefits of a better Graphics card?
Well its simple, a smoother more visually stunning computer game without glitches. But be warned this needs to be matched with a good and compatible monitor. In particular a faster refresh rate on your monitor would ensure your graphics are not flickering when playing games that have intensive motion.
