Definition
A gaming PC, also called a gaming computer, is a specialized personal computer built to run PC games at high standards. It generally differs from mainstream personal computers by using higher-performance components.
Key Components
Gaming PCs typically differ from mainstream personal computers through three main upgrades: a high-performance GPU (graphics card), a CPU with more cores and higher raw performance, and higher-performance RAM. These parts support not only demanding games but also other resource-intensive tasks such as video editing.
Form Factors
While gaming PCs are often built in a desktop form factor, they may also take the shape of laptops or handhelds, allowing high-performance gameplay across different portable and stationary setups.
