We configured an entry-level gaming PC with the ability to play most recent high-profile releases at 60 frames per second with a 1,440p resolution.

A processor’s job in games is a bit more complex but primarily involves performing calculations on in-game physics, input and output control, and sound effects. If you have a very powerful graphics card but a mediocre processor, the card will not be able to perform at its peak, particularly at lower resolutions.
While the latter will create a bottleneck for the card in certain games, only an AMD Ryzen 9 or Intel Core i9 chip could avoid this altogether. However, we would recommend getting an extra stick of 16GB RAM down the line, especially if you like keeping a web browser open in the background while playing games.Games also take up plenty of storage, and having to uninstall and redownload them can be a hassle. Therefore, we opted to look at 1TB drives as a minimum for storage.
