When it comes to experiencing the absolute best that gaming has to offer, the answer isn't a new version of the PlayStation or Xbox. Rather it's a top-quality extreme gaming PC with specs that outclass even brand new consoles in every way. From the outside though this can seem a little daunting if you're just getting started. Perhaps you're interested but still not sure what kind of extreme PC is really for you. In that case, here are some important factors to consider when making your decision:

What games do you like to play?

Not all games are equal when it comes to performance. Some require less processing power than others to function optimally. Fast-paced FPS titles like the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, for example, require a fantastic frame rate for players to compete at their full potential, while in a slower management sim like Planet Zoo this is less important. In either case an extreme gaming PC will help you get the most out of your game. But consider what genres you love to play more than others before making a final decision on how powerful it needs to be.

Future releases to look forward to

Having an extreme PC is also good preparation for new releases to come. What are you most looking forward to in the next year or two? Consider how intensive a performance may be required from your PC for these flashy new games. The good news of course is that an extreme gaming PC isn't a static purchase; you can still upgrade your build as time goes on. But there's no harm in preparing as best you can now so you can get started on an exciting new release as soon as possible.

Budgeting

Price may be a less enthusiastic topic but it's something we all have to consider. The best extreme gaming PC builds can be close to £9,000. A lot of people may not be able to budget this high but the good news is you can still get a very good build for just over £2,000. Even at the lower price point, it will still outperform consoles and you can upgrade over time. So take budget into consideration when making your decision, but don't be too disheartened if the higher price is out of range.

Design

While internal specs are your highest priority, external design also comes into play as different builds may have a unique look to them. Remember to take a closer look not just at its graphical capabilities but a picture of the build for this reason. Of course, when bragging to friends about how nice the PC looks, you're likely referring to on-screen performance. But it's nice to have both.

Customisation

The ability to customise your build has always been one of the main attractions of PC gaming. This is true both internally and externally. Don't stress too much about your initial decision if it's proving especially tough because rather than regretting it, you can improve upon it later.
