If you want a gaming PC, you need to look carefully to see if there is actually a gaming PC in the package. Not all PCs labeled as "gaming" are suitable for a smooth gaming experience! If you want to be sure, you need to know exactly what hardware components are installed in the PC.

Often, the hardware in a ready-made PC seems powerful, but if you look closer, you'll find that either the CPU (processor) or the graphics card is the bottleneck of the gaming computer.

Also:

In most cases, it's cheaper to build a gaming PC yourself than to buy ready-made solutions from electronics store.

There are a few reasons for this:

  • The hardware is often bought at market prices, and an amount is added on to make it "profitable."
  • The sellers of gaming PCs trick you wherever they can to sell normal hardware that is not built into a gaming PC as gaming hardware, even though it is not.
  • If you buy the hardware you want in your gaming PC yourself, you can buy it from different vendors at discount prices and save a lot on your purchase.
  • The finished PCs are assembled, and of course the buyer has to pay for that assembly, which few buyers really seem to understand. I wouldn't be surprised if 20% of the total price is paid to assemble the computer.
  • And finally, don't forget that every seller adds a small amount on top of that, as a "security deposit," so to speak, so that the deal is guaranteed to pay off for the seller.

If you want to save real money on your gaming PC, you should buy the components yourself and find a person to assemble it from that hardware. If the assembly is free, you'll save a lot of money on your gaming PC.

The hardware should be bought at bargain prices if possible; to do this, simply use a price search engine like Price.com or Google Shopping. In many cases, you can't avoid buying your PC hardware from several online stores. In this case, you should also pay attention to the shipping costs, which can quickly eat up the savings.
