Selecting a gaming PC for online gaming.
Hi all, I'm looking for a gaming PC suited for titles like Dota 2, Counter-Strike and PubG. I don't need top-tier hardware, but I want something capable of handling these games at the highest graphics quality in 1080p, preferably with a higher refresh rate using my monitors.
I'm not looking to overspend, since I prefer not to play very demanding games on this system. I'm facing several choices with varying prices and would value your advice on which option fits my requirements best.
Consider whether you should play at 1080p or 4K. For 1080p, all four configurations work well, and the most affordable option with an RTX 3060 achieves around 100 FPS on average. The RTX 3060 review is available here: For 4K, even the most expensive setup with an RTX 4070 Ti falls short, delivering about 70 FPS at best. The RTX 4070 Ti review can be found at: If your monitor runs at 60Hz in 4K, the RTX 4070 Ti should suffice. However, with a 120/144Hz monitor, the PC would struggle. Building with an RTX 4060 Ti is not recommended, as it offers less power compared to the RTX 3070.
Thanks for your feedback. I believe it's unnecessary to reference 4K in this context. For these types of games, focusing on a higher refresh rate seems more relevant than the resolution. In particular, for Counter-Strike, using 120Hz or 140Hz is seen as a competitive edge.
