And given the general component drought right now, that you can bag an all-AMD Alienware machine with just a few months lead time is pretty great. You'll also get a Rocket Lake Core i5 KF, an impressively speedy gaming chip that doesn't demand either crazy cooling or a heap of power. This pairing will deliver seriously high-end gaming performance without breaking the bank. While the extra-terrestrial styling may not appeal to everyone, the performance of Alienware's Aurora R12 gaming PCs remains undeniable.
Alienware also offers eight discrete configurations on its site, from low-end gaming rigs sporting the GTX Super and Core i5 F, all the way up to RTX gaming monsters. That gives you a range of Alienware gaming machines from reasonably affordable p gaming right up to blistering 4K workload-smashing performance, and the Alienware AIO cooling system will help keep the cozy interior of the case at a reasonable temperature, too.
While the actual configs Alienware offers are great starting points, as with the Ryzen Edition, it's absolutely worth digging around in the customization options when it comes to picking the right rig for you.
The memory issue is something you must be aware with when buying Alienware products. This will double your memory bandwidth, and it's a bit off that it's otherwise sold with the weaker solitary stick. Thanks to their Cypress Cove core architecture, the new Intel Core i5 chips make great gaming CPUs and would definitely be our picks if you're looking for a new Aurora R12 build.
We have played with the RTX version of the last-gen Aurora R10, sans liquid chilled GPU, and in gaming terms, you're not going to get a lot higher frame rates than you would with the RTX build. That's not a massive surprise given our testing of the RTX at launch; it only makes sense if you need that 24GB frame buffer for creative work.
The unconventional case design exploits every inch of its limited space, but it initially feels a bit awkward to tinker with. However, access to nearly every part of the PC without tools is a definite plus, as this expedites upgrades and maintenance—so long as you're familiar with the design. There's an obvious priority on providing a convenient, premium product with some potential for upgrades, and the Aurora design just about accomplishes that goal.
The issue with all gaming PCs and parts right now is availability. And that's currently hitting Alienware as hard as the everyone else. Picking up a new Aurora R12 rig today means you're not going actually to receive it for a month at best.
There's a reason Razer is desperate to follow Corsair's lead; it's one of the biggest names in PC gaming hardware right now. Through continual product expansion, and some super-smart acquisitions, Corsair now has its fingers in pretty much every facet of our hobby.
In fact, CPUs, motherboards, and GPUs are the only places you won't find a Corsair logo, but with its impressive line of premium gaming PCs, that logo will still contain all three: the very finest of all that technical jazz. And if you're looking to kick start your career as the next big Twitch streamer, Corsair's integration of Elgato streaming tech in its PCs means they're a great option for the budding stream-star. What makes this system stand out is the optional Elgato 4K60 Pro capture card in the specific "Streaming" machines.
Sure, you can just use OBS Studio or Nvidia's Shadowplay or whatever it's calling itself these days , but there will always be some overhead to deal with. Using a professional capture card can really take the load off. And that's especially good for broadcasting a livestream.
Since Corsair acquired Elgato, it now has access to some of the world's best streaming hardware for its Vengeance rigs. Pair that with Corsair's classic component quality, and you have a recipe for not only great gaming PCs but fantastic streaming rigs, too.
You've got to hand it to Corsair; it sure knows how to build a fine PC. Totally happened to a friend, of course. Here are the different levels of certification, in order from basic to highest quality:. The higher the efficiency certificate, the higher the standards of the power supply. They also have other features like over-current protection OCP and over-voltage protection OVP that will keep your system safe.
Keep in mind that a semi-modular or fully modular power supply will make the cable management easier! Cable management Half the fun in building your PC is actually putting it together.
And of course, you want it to look nice and clean, right? Cable management helps with making it look nice and tidy, and in some cases, it can even improve system cooling since you get better airflow inside the chassis! To overclock or not to overclock? Well, that depends on you! But, if you want to push your rig to its absolute performance edge, there are tons of guides online to assist you in tuning your system.
Advice on memory — or, accurately, RAM to avoid confusion — remains steadfast, even with the advent of a new console generation and ongoing hardware shortages, as detailed in Gaming in — What you need to know. Or, alternatively, 8GB is needed to simply boot the game. Additionally, games are not the only program running on your system which use up RAM. Maintain a lightweight Windows installation with scrupulous checks for RAM-hungry programs and you may scrape by with 8GB, but for carefree multi-tasking, 16GB is clearly advantageous.
As there are no delicate or fragile pins, clumsy screws or cables — only pushing down on plastic tabs to easily slot in an extra 8GB. Picking up two sticks of RAM — two 8GB rather than one 16GB — allows you to run them in dual-channel for a noticeable bump in performance. As mentioned, 3,MHz is roughly what you should be aiming for. Faster is appreciated, but you start to hit diminishing returns. Currently, gaming is deeply associated with live-streaming and content creation, so it would be remiss not to mention 32GB as an option.
Purely for gaming, 16GB is more than enough. Simultaneous high-bitrate screen capture and subsequent editing of the footage in programs like Adobe Premiere Pro will demand 32GB.
All other variables held equal; a bog-standard motherboard will perform near-identical to the flashiest ones, with any changes chalked up to margin-of-error. Aside from receiving audio, they also have mics for communicating with other players. There are two types of ports typically used for connecting your audio devices — the 3.
These are the pink and green colored ports where you plug your device. Pink is for mics and green is for earphones. Another is via USB 3.
USB powered headsets for gaming are enhanced to offer better audio quality. As an alternative to external disk drives, you can use SD cards for your games. This comes in a handier option if you want to carry along something smaller. There is now up to 1TB of storage for SD cards which is more than enough to store a couple of games.
Gaming performance is the same, perhaps with the only noticeable difference being in starting the game where SD card-loaded games boot a little slower. Depending on your preference, you can choose between low travel or high travel keys. For extra room effects, get those with RGB backlights; for maximum comfort, look for one with a wrist rest. The Corsair K RGB optical comes with many bells and whistles to deliver a superb gaming experience. What makes a good gaming PC mouse is how comfortable it is to use.
When it comes to comfort and ergonomics, hand size is the greatest variable here. Mice that are too small for a large hand will make it hard to grip and move the mouse constantly, causing wrist problems and finger fatigue from the awkward posture. Good gaming PC specs mean a machine fully decked out to handle the most demanding games.
Aside from internal specs, peripherals are also important. If you truly want to maximize your gaming experience, consider investing in peripherals like a proper gaming keyboard, mouse, and headset.
