BUYING GUIDE

How to Choose a Gaming PC in

The right gaming PC depends on three things. What you play, what resolution your monitor runs, and whether you prioritise frame rate or visual fidelity. Everything else follows from those three answers.

01

What Do You Play?

Competitive shooters like Valorant, CS2, and Fortnite are lightweight and run well on almost any modern gaming PC. They care about frame rate, not visual detail. A mid-range build handles them at 300fps or more.

Open-world games like Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, and Starfield push hardware much harder. They want a strong GPU for visual detail and a decent CPU for world simulation. These are the games where GPU tier makes the biggest visible difference.

Simulation games like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and iRacing are the most demanding category. Flight sims are CPU-bound, not GPU-bound, which surprises most buyers. If simulation is your primary use case, call Kevin and tell him exactly what you fly.

02

What Resolution Is Your Monitor?

1080p (1920x1080) is the most common resolution. An RTX 5060 handles it well. Most competitive gamers play at 1080p because it allows the highest frame rates.

1440p (2560x1440) is the sweet spot in 2026. It offers a visible jump in image quality over 1080p without the hardware demands of 4K. An RTX 5060 Ti or RTX 5070 covers this resolution. This is where most Ginger6 gaming customers land.

4K (3840x2160) demands serious GPU power. You’ll want an RTX 5070 Ti or higher. The visual quality is stunning, but you need the hardware to drive it without dropping below 60fps.

03

Frame Rate or Visual Fidelity?

Competitive gamers want maximum frames per second, even if it means lowering settings. A lighter GPU at 1080p delivering 300fps gives a competitive advantage in Valorant or CS2 that no amount of visual detail can match.

Single-player gamers typically prefer higher visual quality at a steady 60 to 100fps. Ray tracing, ultra textures, and detailed draw distances make these games look their best, but they need stronger hardware.

Most gamers fall somewhere in between. The sweet spot handles 1440p at high settings with 100fps or more. That’s the configuration most Ginger6 customers choose.

Not sure where to start?

Call Kevin on 01902 714533 and tell him what you play, what monitor you have, and what matters most to you. He’ll narrow it down in five minutes.

PLATFORM CHOICE

Intel or AMD for Gaming in 2026

AMD Ryzen X3D processors are currently the strongest choice for pure gaming, while Intel Core Ultra processors perform better for mixed workloads that combine gaming with streaming, video editing, or productivity. Both platforms deliver excellent gaming performance. The right choice depends on what else you do with the machine.

AMD Ryzen

Best for pure gaming. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and 9800X3D have extra 3D V-Cache that gives them a measurable advantage in games. The cache lets the CPU access game data faster, which translates to higher frame rates in CPU-limited scenarios.

AMD also tends to run cooler and draw less power than Intel at equivalent performance, which means quieter builds and lower electricity bills.

Intel Core Ultra

Best for gaming plus streaming, editing, or productivity. Intel Core Ultra processors have stronger multi-threaded performance, which matters if you stream while gaming, edit video, or run demanding applications alongside your games.

Intel also offers a wider range of processors at different price points, from the Core i3 for budget builds through to the Core Ultra 9 for workstation-class performance.

What We Recommend

We carry both platforms and recommend based on what you’ll actually use the machine for. We don’t favour one brand. Browse our AMD gaming PCs and Intel gaming PCs to compare configurations at every budget.

GRAPHICS CARDS

Which Graphics Card Do You Need

The graphics card determines how your games look and how fast they run at your monitor’s resolution. It’s the single most important component in a gaming PC and the one where spending more makes the most visible difference.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series

NVIDIA’s current generation for gaming. Every card supports ray tracing for realistic lighting and DLSS for AI-boosted frame rates.

1080p

RTX 5060

Handles 1080p gaming at high settings across all current titles. Competitive shooters at 150fps or higher. The right card for budget builds under £1200.

1080p–1440p

RTX 5060 Ti

The step up into smooth 1440p. For roughly £100 to £150 more than the 5060, it opens up a significantly better gaming experience on a 27-inch monitor.

1440p — Most Popular

RTX 5070

The sweet spot for 1440p at high-ultra settings. Ray tracing looks genuinely impressive at this tier. The most popular choice among Ginger6 gaming customers.

1440p–4K

RTX 5070 Ti

Bridges 1440p and 4K. Ultra settings at 1440p with headroom to spare. 4K becomes genuinely playable in most titles.

4K

RTX 5080

The 4K card. Comfortable frame rates at ultra settings. Strong VR performance and enough power for creative work alongside gaming.

4K Ultra

RTX 5090

The flagship. Maximum performance at any resolution. Diminishing returns versus the 5080, but the best available hardware in 2026.

AMD Radeon RX Series

Strong gaming performance, often at a lower price point. Uses FSR instead of DLSS. If ray tracing matters, NVIDIA is the stronger choice. If you want the best raw performance per pound, AMD is worth considering.

1080p

RX 7600

Solid budget option for 1080p gaming.

1440p

RX 9060 XT

Competes with the RTX 5060 Ti at 1440p.

1440p–4K

RX 9070 / XT

Competes with the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti. Strong 1440p to 4K at competitive pricing.

WHAT MATTERS

Gaming Features Worth Paying For (and Ones That Aren’t)

▲ Worth Paying For

Ray Tracing

Simulates real-world lighting. Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing looks like a different game. RTX 5060 Ti and above handle it well at 1080p and 1440p.

DLSS / FSR

AI upscaling that gives you higher frame rates without visible quality loss. DLSS 4 with frame generation can effectively double your fps. Free in most modern titles.

144Hz+ Monitor

Your monitor caps how many frames you can see. 144Hz minimum for gaming, 165Hz ideal for 1440p. Match the monitor to your GPU tier.

Fast NVMe Storage

1TB minimum. Modern games exceed 100GB each. Faster storage means faster load times and less stuttering in open worlds.

▼ Doesn’t Matter as Much

RGB Lighting

Adds nothing to performance. Some love it, others turn it off after a week. Skip it if your budget is tight.

32GB vs 16GB RAM

No noticeable difference in the vast majority of games in 2026. 16GB DDR5 is enough. Exception is streaming while gaming.

Water Cooling on Mid-Range

A quality air cooler handles any Ryzen 5/7 or Core i5/i7 quietly. Liquid cooling makes sense with Ryzen 9 or Core i9 under sustained load.

4K Monitor + Budget GPU

A mismatch that wastes money. An RTX 5060 with a 1440p 144Hz monitor beats an RTX 5060 with a 4K 60Hz panel.

READY-BUILT OR CUSTOM

Ready-Built or Custom Gaming PC

Ginger6 sells both ready-built and custom-configured gaming PCs, and both get the same 24-hour stress test, 3-year warranty, and lifetime support. The right choice depends on how quickly you need the machine and how specific your requirements are.

Ships 1–2 working days

Ready-Built

Proven configurations that balance performance and value. If you want a solid gaming PC without choosing every component, this is the fastest path. Best value under £1000.

Browse Ready-Built →
Ships 5–7 working days

Custom-Configured

Choose every component to match your exact use case. If you play specific demanding titles or need your build for gaming plus creative work, custom gives you control. Best above £1200.

Kevin carefully chose the exact right components at extremely competitive prices. He took the time to design and build the ultimate PC and burn-in and test every component for excellent stability.

Gary Mulder , Verified Reviews.io Review
★★★★★

Verbal communication is very important to me when dealing with a lot of money for a PC I had no idea about. My teenage son was unsure what parts he would need for a gaming PC. With Ginger6 my son ordered his dream PC and I was kept fully informed through the whole process.

Victoria Jenkins , Verified Reviews.io Review
★★★★★

Can’t recommend Ginger6 highly enough. Kevin was brilliant at answering my questions and recommending the best machine for my budget and purpose. It was exactly one week between ordering and delivery.

Andy Williams , Verified Google Review
★★★★★

I emailed Kevin to be sure if what I put down to order was suitable, Kevin supported me to change a few things around and since having the PC for a few weeks it is absolutely amazing and a stunning looking PC. Also fast service and delivery too. I recommend Ginger6 as I will be upgrading from them in the future.

FAQ

Gaming PC Questions

The best gaming PC is the one that matches what you’ll actually use it for at a price that makes sense. A £1200 build with an RTX 5060 Ti is the best gaming PC for someone playing at 1440p. A £2500 build with an RTX 5080 is the best for 4K and VR. Call Kevin on 01902 714533 and tell him what you play.

Most Ginger6 gaming customers spend between £1000 and £1800. Under £1000 handles 1080p well. The £1200 to £1800 range covers 1440p at high settings. Over £1800 is for 4K, VR, and professional workloads.

A prebuilt gaming PC from Ginger6 includes a 24-hour stress test, 3-year warranty, and lifetime support that you don’t get when building yourself. DIY can save 10 to 15% on component costs, but you take on the risk of compatibility issues, faulty parts, and troubleshooting without professional support.

AMD Ryzen X3D processors are currently the strongest choice for pure gaming thanks to extra 3D V-Cache that boosts frame rates. Intel Core Ultra processors perform better for mixed workloads that combine gaming with streaming or video editing. We recommend based on your actual use case.

An NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti or RTX 5070 handles 1440p gaming at high settings in the majority of current titles. The RTX 5060 Ti delivers 60 to 100fps at high settings. The RTX 5070 adds headroom for higher frame rates and ray tracing.

No, 16GB of DDR5 RAM is enough for gaming in 2026. 32GB makes sense if you stream while gaming, run multiple monitors with background applications, or want to future-proof for 3 to 4 years.

A gaming PC includes a dedicated graphics card, a faster processor, and more RAM than a standard desktop, specifically configured to handle the demands of modern games. A regular home or office PC uses integrated graphics and is built for web browsing and office applications. Gaming PCs start at around £800.

Yes, gaming PCs handle office work, web browsing, and most productivity applications easily. The hardware that runs modern games is more than capable of running Microsoft Office, Zoom, and web browsers. A gaming PC also handles video editing and graphic design better than a standard office machine.

A well-built gaming PC lasts 4 to 6 years before you need to think about major upgrades. After 2 to 3 years, a GPU upgrade keeps you playing at higher settings without replacing the entire system. Every Ginger6 build uses a PSU with headroom for future GPU upgrades.

Yes, Ginger6 ships gaming PCs to all UK mainland addresses with free delivery. Custom builds ship within 5 to 7 working days. Ready-built gaming PCs ship within 1 to 2 working days.
