The partsĪ PC is built from these basic components: a motherboard, a CPU, a GPU, system memory, a hard drive or SSD (solid state drives), a power supply unit (PSU) and a case. I’d say for a budget machine you should be aiming for specs that can handle 1080p screen resolution and 60-144 Hz refresh rate. That way there are no bottlenecks in your system. Most experts I spoke to said it’s better to aim for balanced performance, with your GPU (graphics processing unit) and CPU (central processing unit) comparable in price and abilities. ![]() ![]() If you want astonishing visual fidelity, you want a machine that can deal with 1440p or even 4K resolution, but that might mean running games at a lower refresh rate which will make them look choppy. At a basic level, you’ll need to decide if screen resolution (how much detail there is in the graphics) is the most important thing to you or refresh rate (how smoothly a game moves, measured in Hz).
