A Gaming Pc Is A Special Breed Of Computer

By Andrew Johnson

For those that want to play MMORPGs (massively multi-player online role playing games) you need to find the right gaming pc. If this is going to be your first gaming computer then you need to know what to look for.

These computers are built with the solitary purpose of playing games. Of course, you can do the same things that you would do on a normal computer. Graphics and seamless game play are the two biggest concerns for any gamer.

Gaming computers come with high-end video cards. The games that are on the market today have brilliant graphics and you will want to make sure that you can see every detail. Especially when it comes to your darker or night scenes, you want to be able to see what is lurking out there in the shadows.

The processor is a big focal point. If your processor cannot keep up then the game play will seem choppy and erratic. The game play is often fast and you need to your PC to keep up with the action. A quad-core processor is the best that you can get and you should not have to deal with long load times and annoying choppiness.

Along with the processor, you want to make sure that there is enough RAM. 4 Gigabits of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive is a decent place to start. With of this under the hood of a PC, there is usually a heavy duty cooling system to keep everything running smoothly. Whether it is additional fans on the video card or additional heat sinks, the usual small fan that is found a regular computer just is not enough.

You want to make sure that there are a lot of I/O ports that are easy accessible. There are joysticks, steering wheels and gaming controllers that need to be plugged in. And what fun is gaming if you cannot invite some friends over? They need a place to plug in their controllers as well.

There are many fancy towers out there. Some that light up and pulse along with your game play. And there are other cases that just look really cool and unique. But the outside case does not have anything to do with how your games will run, so make sure that you have anything that you want and need on the inside before you worry about outside appearances. - 30432
