What to look for in the best gaming PC under $1500

1. Processor

The processor (CPU) is the heart of your computer. Look for a high-performance CPU, such as the Intel Core i5 or i7, or AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 series, which can handle demanding games without slowing down.

2. Graphics Card

The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is crucial for rendering game graphics. A good GPU will provide smooth gameplay and high frame rates. Consider NVIDIA GeForce GTX or RTX series, or AMD Radeon RX series.

3. RAM

RAM (Random Access Memory) is essential for running multiple applications at once. For gaming, 16GB is a good starting point.

4. Storage

A Solid State Drive (SSD) offers faster load times than a traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD). Consider a PC with an SSD for the operating system and games, and an HDD for additional storage.
