Choosing the right gaming PC can be overwhelming—especially for beginners. But even experienced gamers sometimes face the question: Which gaming PC is best for me? The right choice depends on many factors: your budget, the games you want to play, and your personal requirements for performance, design, and upgradeability. In this guide, you'll find clear, understandable guidance—whether you're new to the game or simply looking to upgrade.

1. Budget – how much do you want (or can) spend?

Before you decide on a gaming PC, you should set your budget. Gaming PCs can be roughly divided into three categories:

  • Entry-level (from €1,000): Good performance for Full HD gaming. Ideal for titles like Fortnite, League of Legends, or Valorant.

  • Mid-range (1750 - 2500 €): Strong performance for WQHD and higher settings in AAA games.

  • High-end (from €2,500): 4K gaming, ray tracing, and future-proofing. Ideal for VR, simulations, or streaming.

💡 Tip: Plan a small buffer for peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse) and possible upgrades.

2. What games do you play – and at what resolution?

Not every game has the same hardware requirements. While strategy or indie games require little performance, shooters, racing games, and current open-world titles demand significantly more.

Game type Recommended hardware
Esports / Indie GTX 1650 / RTX 3050, Ryzen 5 / i5, 16GB RAM
AAA titles (WQHD) RTX 4060 Ti / 4070, Ryzen 7 / i7, 16-32GB RAM
4K gaming / ray tracing RTX 4080/4090, Ryzen 9/i9, 32GB RAM

3. Ready-made PC or build it yourself?

Pre-built PCs are ideal for anyone who wants to get started right away – especially if support, a warranty, and ease of use are important.
Self-assembled PCs often offer more performance for the money, but require know-how.

If you are unsure, the middle ground is worth considering: a preconfigured PC that you can still customize (e.g. from FYARE SYSTEMS ).

4. Design, volume & expandability

Gaming PCs differ not only in their performance but also in their design. Do you want:

  • RGB lighting & glass side panel?

  • A quiet system for concentrated gaming?

  • Plenty of room for future upgrades?

These factors influence the choice of case, the cooling system and the power requirements – and should be taken into account early on.

5. Future-proofing: How long should your PC last?

A high-end system is more expensive, but it can easily run current games for several years. If you're upgrading or plan to switch back in two or three years, a mid-range PC is often cheaper.

Conclusion: How to find your ideal gaming PC

  • Determine your budget and requirements.

  • Choose the right performance class for your favorite games.

  • Choose between a ready-made solution or a custom PC.

  • Also consider design, volume, and upgradeability.

  • Invest with an eye on future gaming generations.

If you keep these points in mind, you are guaranteed to find the gaming PC that is perfect for you.
