what hardware do i need to upgrade to gaming computers
please help me what to buy to upgrade my computers to gaming computers
I just bought two gaming monitors optimx 24' with 144ghz refresh
thank you
i have
hp intel icore 7, 7th generation, 12 g of memory, 2.9ghz processor, 64bit processor
window 10
also
levono intel i.5 3330 cpu at 3ghz., 8 g of memory, 64 bit , window 8
also
hp 260 - p026
icore 3, 6th generation, 8 g of memory, 3.1 ghz processer, window 10
window 10
Thank you.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, focusing on clarity and conciseness:
This PC is limited in its upgrade potential due to its slim design. The best option would be an Intel Core i7 processor from the 7th generation (12GB memory, 2.9GHz). Reusing existing components like the Core i5-3330 CPU (2012 model) and finding compatible motherboards on platforms like eBay is a viable strategy. Consider using barebone PC cases to accommodate your parts.

This PC case is slim, limiting upgrade options. The best approach would be to reuse components from an older system like an Intel Core i7 7th generation processor with 12GB of memory and a 2.9GHz clock speed. A suitable motherboard could be found on the used market (e.g., eBay) for a socket 1155 CPU, such as an i5-3330. Alternatively, consider using a bare PC case to house these parts.
This text discusses the components needed to build a gaming computer. It emphasizes the importance of several key elements:
* **Dedicated Graphics Card:** A dedicated GPU is essential for gaming performance; CPUs cannot handle graphics processing effectively.
* **Powerful Power Supply (PSU):** Gaming computers require significantly more power than standard PCs, necessitating an upgraded PSU to accommodate high-performance GPUs.
* **Effective Cooling System:** Robust cooling solutions are necessary to manage the heat generated by demanding components like the GPU and CPU.
* **Sufficient RAM:** High-speed RAM is crucial for smooth gaming performance.
The text clarifies that a computer isn't considered "gaming" without a dedicated graphics card and suggests PSU upgrades and cooling systems as further enhancements.
A gaming computer requires a dedicated GPU. Many gaming rigs have upgraded cooling. Usually an upgraded PSU is included. A powerful CPU and graphics card draw significant power, so a robust PSU with at least 750 watts is recommended for headroom. RAM requirements are constantly doubling, though RAM speed has a minimal impact. It’s best to stick with the sweet spot in RAM speed at time of purchase (DDR4-3000 or DDR4-3200) and buy a 2 stick kit for flexibility. Dedicated GPUs require a graphics processing unit – an enormous amount of people play those types of games...a dGPU-less PC could still be considered a "gaming" PC. Having a graphics card is normally going to take much more power than the power supplied by the OEM PSU. AMD’s Ryzen CPUs come with pretty good stock coolers though (more of an exception to the rule in recent history). Certainly “gaming” PCs could average a higher number of case fans to cope with the added power/heat output of the more powerful hardware inside. 16GB is plenty for today's games (I’d say we’re actually between 8GB and 16GB right now...say 12GB average), but yes, RAM requirements always seem to have doubled within the lifespan of the CPU for as long as I can remember.
Gaming rigs have upgraded cooling. Not absolutely necessary, though upgraded CPU cooling does lower temps and/or noise. AMD’s Ryzen CPUs come with pretty good stock coolers though (more of an exception to the rule in recent history). Certainly “gaming” PCs could average a higher number of case fans to cope with the added power/heat output of the more powerful hardware inside. A powerful CPU and an RTX2080Ti draws about 300W while gaming. A system with a Vega64 GPU draws about 400W. You generally want some headroom to have the PSU running at ~50% duty cycle under those loads, but a good quality 650W PSU is enough for any single-GPU system. Many gaming rigs have upgraded cooling.

Another thing you want to do when you can is to get as much RAM [as]… you can. 16GB is plenty for today’s games (I’d say we’re actually between 8GB and 16GB right now...say 12GB average), but yes, RAM requirements always seem to have doubled within the lifespan of the CPU for as long as I can remember. RAM speed is wishy-washy. It does help, but it ranges from negligible to single digit %. Stick with the sweet spot at time of purchase (right now that’s DDR4-3000 or DDR4-3200). Also, buy a mobo with 4 ram slots, but get a 2 stick kit of RAM for your initial build. That allows you to add later, rather than replace. True statement. The power supplies in OEM PCs are tightly controlled/spec’d to only provide enough watts for the original build. Since an enormous amount of people play those types of games…a dGPU-less PC could still be considered a “gaming” PC.
