TechNutz: This guide will focus on building the best budget performance Intel gaming PC without killing your wallet. Intel has taken the CPU performance crown for quite some time now with it’s brutally efficient architecture and IPC (instructions per clock). You pay a premium however for this type of performance vs. buying an AMD based system. I have received quite a few requests lately regarding an Intel gaming PC build for $500-$600. You can get really decent performance with this kind of budget and I will update this post monthly so you get the best deal and best hardware combinations. You want a great Intel gaming PC … so let’s build one .
The ASUS ProArt Display PA32KCX is on the way - a brand-new 8K monitor designed for professionals, including DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity.
NVIDIA will have a Special Address at CES 2024 which is scheduled for Monday, 8 Jan. at 8 a.m. PT / 5 p.m. CET.
It's time to give your setup the upgrade of its lifetime with this Cyber Monday AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Cyber Monday deal.
