Introduction

Update: A new hotness in the Origin Millennium has kicked Acer’s Preadtor G3-605 off the list. See why below.

PC gaming is currently in better shape than it has been for years. Software sales are up, developers now take both the platform and players more seriously and innovative form-factors like the HP Omen X make the hardware just as charming – if not more – than consoles.

The fantastic simplicity of services like Steam makes buying PC games easy as pie, and the PC’s open nature gives you a great choice of hardware. Graphics cards, storage, processors and memory are interchangeable on the PC in a way that no other platform can compete with. And, with a PC that has a really high specification, the visuals and resolutions it can manage are far superior to even the Xbox One and PS4.

A great gaming computer doesn’t come cheap though. You’ll have to dig deep into your pocket for a PC that has the most powerful graphics card, a top-end “Haswell” or “Skylake” processor which has been overclocked by the PC vendor, and an ultra fast SSD. But, if you love gaming, the considerable expense is absolutely worth it.
