What Goes Into a Custom Gaming PC
Four components define your gaming PC. Resolution target determines GPU tier. Platform choice determines everything else. A dedicated GPU is required on every custom gaming build.
Which Custom Gaming Build Is Right for You?
Both platforms build excellent gaming PCs. The choice depends on whether you do more than just game.
AMD Custom Gaming PCs
AMD Ryzen X3D is the current leader for gaming frame rates. 3D V-Cache technology delivers 10 to 20% higher fps than equivalent Intel processors in most titles. If gaming performance is your only goal, this is the platform to build on.
Pair with an RTX 5070 for 1440p, an RTX 5080 for high-refresh 1440p or entry 4K, or an RTX 5090 for maximum 4K performance.
Browse AMD Gaming PCs →Intel Custom Gaming PCs
Intel Core Ultra is the stronger choice for gaming alongside sustained secondary workloads. Stream encoding, video editing, and background capture are all CPU-intensive tasks that Intel handles without stealing from your gaming frame rate budget.
Core Ultra 5 or Ultra 7 paired with an RTX 5070 or RTX 5080 covers 1440p gaming with streaming headroom to spare.

Your Resolution Target Determines Your GPU Tier
The most common mistake in gaming PC configuration is choosing the CPU first. The right approach is the opposite: start with your monitor's resolution and refresh rate, use that to identify the right GPU tier, then choose a CPU that does not bottleneck it. Spending more on the CPU and less on the GPU consistently produces worse gaming performance at a given budget.
At 1080p, an RTX 5060 Ti delivers strong performance in the vast majority of current titles at high settings. The frame rate headroom it provides on a 144Hz or 165Hz monitor is more than sufficient for competitive play and high-detail single-player games. Spending up to an RTX 5070 at 1080p gives diminishing returns unless you are targeting frame rates above 240fps on a high-refresh monitor.
At 1440p, the RTX 5070 is the sweet spot for high settings at 100fps or above in most demanding titles. The RTX 5070 Ti adds headroom for the most graphically intensive games and enables higher ray tracing settings without the frame rate penalty you see at lower tiers. If your monitor is a 27-inch 165Hz 1440p panel, an RTX 5070 is the GPU to build around.
At 4K, the RTX 5080 handles most titles at high settings with strong frame rates. The RTX 5090 is for buyers who want maximum 4K performance across all titles including those with full ray tracing and high-quality upscaling via DLSS. At this tier, pairing with a Ryzen 9 X3D or Core Ultra 9 ensures the CPU is never the limiting factor.
Why Gaming Customers Rate Ginger6 93% Five-Star
Most gaming PC buyers have spent time on spec sheets and forums before they call. When they call Ginger6, Kevin is already thinking about whether their resolution target matches the GPU they have chosen, whether their CPU tier is right for the way they game, and whether there is a better build at the same budget. He has been doing this since 2001. The Trustpilot reviews that mention "talked me into spending less" and "suggested a better GPU pairing" are consistent because this is how every conversation goes.
PCSpecialist has a 79% five-star Trustpilot rating. Ginger6 has 93%. The 14-point gap is not about marketing. It is about the difference between a large-scale operation where orders are processed through separate sales and support teams, and a Wolverhampton workshop where one person takes your call, builds your machine, runs it through a 24-hour test, and answers when you call back.
Every custom gaming PC at Ginger6 includes a 3-year warranty on the complete system and lifetime technical support at no extra cost. Read the full comparison at the custom PC builder page.
What Gaming Customers Say
Over 1,100 verified reviews. 93% five-star. Rated Excellent.
Read the Trustpilot listing and look for what gaming customers say most often: builds that perform exactly as specified, after-sale support that is actually available, and an honest pre-sale conversation that stops buyers overspending on parts they do not need.
Read All Trustpilot ReviewsFantastic service, easy website to use. Had a gaming machine built to my own spec. Build looked fantastic, really neat and tidy. One internal component needed sorting and the issue was fixed the same evening. After sale service was great and that is a key thing with a new build. The phone was answered on second or third ring when I called.
Great team offered loads of advice before I bought the PC. Always on hand to answer questions. My son loves his new PC.
Ginger6 have an extensive range of computer components and custom built performance machines to suit everybody. I have built a few PCs myself and the service at Ginger6 is very good.
How Your Custom Gaming PC Gets Built and Delivered
Every Ginger6 gaming PC is built to order in Wolverhampton, stress-tested for 24 hours under sustained gaming load, and shipped in 5 to 7 working days.
Start with your monitor resolution and refresh rate, then select the right GPU tier. Browse the AMD or Intel gaming PC range above and configure using the product page dropdowns: platform, GPU, memory, storage, case, and cooling. Not sure which options suit your games? Call Kevin on 01902 714533 before ordering. Tell him the games you play and your monitor. He will confirm the right GPU and CPU pairing.
Your gaming PC is assembled by hand in the Wolverhampton workshop. GPU installation, CPU cooler mounting, and cable management are each completed to a consistent standard. Cable management supports better airflow inside the case, reduces dust accumulation around components, and makes future GPU or storage upgrades straightforward without dismantling the whole build. Before the 24-hour stress test begins, BIOS settings and memory profiles are confirmed and firmware stability is verified to prevent startup issues on arrival. The stress test runs the CPU and GPU under sustained gaming-equivalent load for a full day.
Once testing passes, your gaming PC is packed with internal GPU bracing to prevent movement during transit. You receive dispatch notification with tracking. Free delivery across UK mainland. Your 3-year warranty covers the complete system from delivery. Lifetime support means the same number reaches the same person who built your machine, whether you call next week or three years from now.

Frequently Asked Questions
AMD Ryzen X3D is currently the stronger choice for pure gaming frame rates. The 3D V-Cache architecture gives it a 10 to 20% fps advantage over Intel in most gaming benchmarks. Intel Core Ultra is the better option if you game alongside sustained streaming, video editing, or heavy productivity work, where its higher thread count handles the combined load without affecting frame rates. If you are unsure, call Kevin on 01902 714533 and describe how you use the machine. He will recommend the right platform.
An RTX 5070 handles 1440p gaming well at high settings in most current titles, delivering 100fps or above at 1440p. The RTX 5070 Ti adds headroom for the most graphically intensive games and higher ray tracing settings. If your monitor is a 27-inch 165Hz 1440p panel, build around the RTX 5070 as your GPU tier. Call Kevin on 01902 714533 if you want advice specific to the games you play.
No. AMD Ryzen processors require an AMD-compatible AM5 motherboard. Intel Core processors require an Intel-compatible LGA 1851 or LGA 1700 motherboard. The two platforms are incompatible at the hardware level. When you configure a custom gaming PC at Ginger6, all components are selected for a single platform. Ginger6 handles all compatibility checking as part of the build process.
Browse the AMD or Intel gaming PC range above and use the product page dropdowns to select your GPU, CPU tier, memory, storage, case, and cooling. The specification updates as you configure.
