Processor<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A gaming computer in the year 2023 should have a processor from the 12th or 13th generation of Intel, or from the 5th or 7th generation of AMD. The generation of AMD processors is indicated by the first digit in the numeric index, while for Intel it is the first two digits. The number of cores is the most important characteristic of modern gaming processors. The more cores a processor has, the higher and more stable the frame rate in games.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Core_Processors\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4-Core Processors\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people believe that 4-core CPUs are outdated, but their performance suggests otherwise. For example, modern Intel Core i3-12100(F) is more powerful than one of the best processors in 2018, the 8-core Intel Core i7-9700K. So, it is still relevant and copes well with gaming tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Core_Processors\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6-Core Processors\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, they are considered the best in terms of price and performance, and their popularity is growing every year. This is because these processors can handle any project, regardless of the graphics settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current 6-core Intel processors:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Intel Core i5-12400;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Intel Core i5-12500;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Intel Core i5-13400;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Intel Core i5-13500.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current 6-core AMD processors:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; AMD Ryzen 5 5600;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; AMD Ryzen 5 5600X;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; AMD Ryzen 5 7600X.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Processors_with_8_or_more_cores\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Processors with 8 or more cores<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference in the gaming frame rate between 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16-core processors is negligible. However, it is still worth investing in multi-core CPUs for gaming computers under certain conditions. For example, when using a powerful graphics card, a 4-core Intel Core i3-12100(F) will bottleneck the system. The CPU will be loaded at 100%, while the video card will only reach 30-40%. To achieve the maximum frame rate, the performance should be limited by the video card, not the processor. This is where an expensive multi-core CPU in a gaming computer is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Graphic_Card\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graphic Card\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-28868 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Graphic-Card-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Graphic Card\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Graphic-Card-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Graphic-Card-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Graphic-Card-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Graphic-Card.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video card is the most important component of a gaming computer.

The resolution and graphics settings of the game largely depend on the video card&#8217;s performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main characteristic of video cards is performance, which is indicated by a numeric index in the name of the card. Like central processors, the first digits indicate the generation, and the next digits indicate the power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a modern computer, video cards from NVIDIA 30 or 40 generations and AMD 6 or 7 generations should be installed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Entry-Level_Video_Cards\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entry-Level Video Cards<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are graphics accelerators designed for gaming at 60 FPS on high graphics settings and Full HD resolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following video cards should be installed in modern computers:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; GeForce RTX 3050;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; GeForce RTX 3060 [8GB].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as from AMD Radeon:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; RX 6400;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; RX 6500XT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These graphics cards have a nuance in the form of a reduced number of PCI-Express lines.

Below, we will talk in detail about these characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_GB_of_RAM\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16 GB of RAM<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the minimum amount of RAM for a gaming PC in 2023. This does not mean that systems with 8 GB of RAM cannot run modern games. They can, but you will encounter:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">crashes to the desktop;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">short freezes (lags);<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">significant drops in frame rates.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the frame rate in your game remains at the level of 70-90, then everything is fine. But if the FPS drops regularly, for example, to 40, and then suddenly rises to 90, then these are frame drops. They will spoil the pleasure of the gameplay, especially in competitive shooters, where &#8220;lags&#8221; will interfere with aiming at opponents.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"32_GB_of_RAM\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">32 GB of RAM<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the optimal amount of RAM for a gaming computer in 2023. Yes, the recommended RAM for most modern games is 16 GB. However, such projects as Hogwarts Legacy and Forspoken already require 32 GB of RAM today. In these games, systems with less RAM experience significant FPS drops, which occur most often when moving through the open world. With each passing year, the number of such demanding projects will only increase.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"64_GB_of_RAM\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">64 GB of RAM<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It makes sense to consider a gaming system with such an amount of RAM only in two cases:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you need a very powerful gaming computer for the next 7-10 years;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you plan to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hyperpc.ae\/workstation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work on your PC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> not only with games but with complex calculations, such as 3D modeling, video editing, photo processing, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Memory_Type\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory Type<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, two types of RAM are popular: DDR4 and DDR5. It may seem that the latter is better since it came out later. However, this is true only for program operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference in gaming performance between DDR4 and DDR5 is either insignificant or absent altogether. This is due to the fact that developers are reluctant to optimize games for new hardware. Therefore, several more years will pass before the difference between DDR4 and DDR5 becomes significant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So in 2023, you can safely choose a computer with DDR4 memory. However, the situation will change every year, so if you have enough money, consider the option of a system with DDR5.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Memory_Frequency\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory Frequency<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For DDR4 RAM, the frequency should be no lower than 3200MHz. Otherwise, the processor will lose a significant portion of its performance. This is especially important for CPUs from AMD, as their processors&#8217; operation heavily depends on RAM frequency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The situation with DDR5 is easier. The performance of the new type of memory is not so much dependent on frequency. Therefore, we can confidently choose computers even with a standard rating of 5200 MHz.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Presence_of_Radiators\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Presence of Radiators<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radiators are metal plates that are put on the memory sticks. They are used for heat dissipation and as a decoration of the system. Their presence in a gaming computer is not mandatory, but desirable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, radiators prolong the lifespan of computer components. The less they heat up, the longer they will last. Secondly, radiators, especially those with LED lighting, make the computer look more attractive. While it may not increase frame rates in games, a beautiful PC build is always pleasing to the eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SSD_and_HDD_Storage_Drives\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SSD and HDD Storage Drives<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-28866 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/SSD-and-HDD-Storage-Drives-1024x682.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/SSD-and-HDD-Storage-Drives-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/SSD-and-HDD-Storage-Drives-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/SSD-and-HDD-Storage-Drives-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/SSD-and-HDD-Storage-Drives.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern games are filled with highly detailed models and high-resolution textures.

This leads to the following problems:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">levels take a long time to load;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">objects appear out of nowhere;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">textures load directly in front of the player.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be avoided by using solid-state drives (SSD) instead of HDD. They read data dozens of times faster and promptly transfer them to the video card with RAM. Therefore, a modern gaming PC build should include an SSD storage drive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This does not mean that hard drives cannot be used. They are great for storing videos, photos, text documents, and any other files except for video games, programs, and operating systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_and_Fans\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Case and Fans<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-28865 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Case-and-Fans-1024x682.png\" alt=\"Case and Fans\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Case-and-Fans-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Case-and-Fans-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Case-and-Fans-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/technonguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Case-and-Fans.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microelectronics, including processors, video cards, and RAM, are subject to degradation &#8211; the destruction of internal components. This process cannot be avoided but its impact can be reduced by decreasing the working temperature of the components.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The simplest way to do this is to install computer parts in a case with good ventilation. In such a case, the hot air from the components should be blown out of the system unit, while the cool air should come in through the ventilation holes. To achieve this circulation, the case must:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have a special perforation;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have a bottom-mounted power supply unit;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have multiple fans for blowing and exhausting air.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These specifications should be included in a gaming case in 2023. This will significantly reduce the temperature of the components and increase their lifespan.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power_Supply_Unit\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Power Supply Unit<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing a pre-built home PC configuration, you should pay special attention to the power supply unit, as modern components are very demanding of the quality of electricity. This is especially true for video cards, which are often damaged due to strong voltage drops on the 12-volt line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An indirect indicator of the quality of the power supply unit can be the \u201c80 PLUS\u201d certificate. They are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">80 PLUS;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">80 PLUS BRONZE;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">80 PLUS SILVER;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">80 PLUS GOLD;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">80 PLUS PLATINUM;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">80 PLUS TITANIUM.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, this parameter indicates the difference between the power consumed from the outlet and the power obtained at the output, but it is impossible to obtain an \u201c80 PLUS GOLD\u201d certificate or higher with a low-quality component base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally, it is necessary to find out which power supply unit model is installed in the pre-built configuration. Then, it would not hurt to go online and read a review of this PSU. If you are not familiar with radio electronics, don&#8217;t worry: many authors summarize the pros and cons of power supply units in simple terms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you read reviews on AeroCool VX, it becomes clear from the first few lines that this PSU cannot be used to build a system unit, especially a gaming one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The market for gaming computers is so vast that you can find and buy a system for any requirements.
