What is configured in a custom gaming PC?

As Gaming PCs are customized for your specific gaming needs, you will want to look at the individual components that make them legendary.

GPU or graphics cards
A dedicated graphics card may be the single most crucial component in a custom gaming PC. Processing-intensive games will do better with the latest graphics cards with more built-in RAM. Ideally, you should invest in a PC that’s configured with the best graphics card.

CPU or processor
While the GPU does most of the heavy lifting in a custom gaming PC, a faster processor can help the entire system keep up with the heavy demands of gaming. CPUs with faster clock speeds, multiple cores, and multithreading technology will improve the speed of systems and the fluidity of games.

Memory or RAM
Random-access memory, or RAM, holds short-term information continually being used and accessed by the CPU. Too little RAM will result in bottlenecks. 8 GB of RAM is considered the minimum for most games, while 16 GB of RAM is ideal for heavy-duty processing.

Storage drives
Games require PCs to store a lot of data in-game files. Hard disk drives (HDDs) offer higher volumes of memory and lower cost, while solid-state drives (SSDs) are faster and safer but more expensive. A Gaming PC that has been configured with an SSD is ideal, but a larger HDD is an alternative for optimal performance.
