A gaming PC is very different from your usual laptops. They need high-end fast processors, great graphics, and incredible longevity. If you are a gamer, you know how difficult it can be to find the right combination for yourself. With the festive season around the corner, it might just be a good time to upgrade your system and take your gaming to the next level.

But before you invest in a gaming PC, make sure to keep these 5 things in mind: 

1. Graphics card

A good graphics card elevates your visual experience and helps you completely immerse yourself in your game. The creation and rendering of images, videos, or animations also become smooth like butter with a good graphics card. Also known as the GPU (graphics processing unit), it helps the CPU to process better and that too with lesser processing load. 

2. RAM

A fast RAM will increase the processing speed of your system. The faster the RAM is, the better it is for your gaming experience. 16 GB is considered to be pretty good for gaming in Windows and MacOS systems, whereas 32 GB is a good fit for professionals.

3: Storage

You need good storage space to keep all of your favourite games, right?. Even though hard disk drives can work just fine for you, a few modern games take up a lot of space. You can upgrade your storage by buying an additional SSD anywhere from 240GB to 2TB. Or you could simply check out Intel’s 11th Gen gaming laptops, which come with Gen4 SSDs attached to the CPU in RAID mode. You can learn more about this here. Good storage also leads to better and faster performance. New PCIe 4.0 SSDs are designed to improve SSD performance in heavy I/O workloads. This will also allow advances in load times, asset streaming, and level design.

4. CPU

The most crucial of all and the brains of your system is the Central Processing Unit (CPU). It provides your system with all the instructions and the processing power that it needs. So naturally, the entire performance is dependent on the efficiency of your CPU. You have to check out Intel’s new 11th Gen Intel® Core™ H-series Laptop Processors with new overclocking features which let overclockers of all levels dial-up their performance. On top of that, with Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, lightly-threaded performance is optimized by identifying your processor’s fastest cores and directing your most critical workloads to them.

5. Motherboard

If you’re going to spend hours beating your controller and your keyboard while your system potentially heats up, you need a pacifier. And a good motherboard acts like one. It’s going to have an easy-to-navigate Basic Input/Output System, features for overclocking, durability, heat endurance, and will also be long-lasting. It maximises your speed and connectivity and gives you a seamless gaming experience.

With the right system in place, you can be invincible. A harmonious set of peripherals allow the synergy that will make your gaming experience seamless and comfortable. So this festive season, gift yourself or your gamer friend the unmatched experience with the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ H–Series processors and #GameWithIntel. The Intel® Core™ laptop processors with Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics let you game without compromises.
