Walking into a computer shop or browsing online specs can feel like reading a foreign language if you're new to PC gaming. At Help Computer Centre, 94 High Street, Bangor, we're here to make it simple. Here’s your beginner-friendly guide to understanding gaming PC specs:
🧠 CPU (Processor)
Think of it as your brain. A 6-core or 8-core CPU like the AMD Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 is ideal for most gamers. For high-end performance, Ryzen 7 or Intel i7 steps it up.
🎮 GPU (Graphics Card)
The most crucial component for gaming. Whether it’s an NVIDIA RTX 4060 or an AMD RX 7600, the GPU handles all visuals. Higher numbers = better performance.
🧠 RAM (Memory)
You’ll want 16GB of DDR4 or DDR5 RAM to keep games running smoothly—especially modern titles.
💾 SSD vs HDD
Always go for an SSD. It loads games significantly faster. A 1TB NVMe SSD is the sweet spot for performance and storage.
🔌 PSU (Power Supply)
Make sure your system has a reliable, branded PSU with enough wattage for your GPU.
❄️ Cooling
Whether it’s air or liquid cooling, keeping your components cool extends their life and prevents crashes.
