How much does a gaming PC cost in Malaysia?
Nowadays, purchasing a brand new gaming PC with average specs can easily cost around RM3500 to RM4000. And you shouldn’t be surprised when premium gaming rigs are often come with exorbitant price tags of above RM8000.
However, even if you don’t have a deep pocket, you still can own a gaming PC by compromising some features or specs which you don’t necessarily need them. To help you out, we have broken down the 3 most important features or specs that are worth your consideration when choosing a gaming device.
#1 Processor
- No matter if you’re choosing a regular PC or a gaming PC, the central processing unit or CPU is always the 1st thing to consider.
- They are the brain for the whole computing system and a good one will give you a decent gaming experience.
- Entry-level and casual gaming usually requires at least a 4 core/4 thread CPU for smooth gameplay.
- Meanwhile, for modern AAA titles, we suggest getting a 6 core/12 thread processor instead. Anything higher will surely improve the gaming performance but not very significantly.
#2 Graphics Processing Unit
- Graphics processing unit (GPU) is the next most essential part to consider for gaming PCs.
- Popular latest AAA titles and 3D games will require a discrete or dedicated GPU to run smoothly without graphics tearing.
- In terms of brands, NVIDIA’s GPUs are getting more hype in the market nowadays. So if you’re looking at them, try to aim for the RTX series such as the RTX 2080 and RTX 3080.
- On the other hand, you can also look for Radeon GPUs like RX 5600XT and RX 5700XT.
#3 Displays
- While a monitor may not come along with some of the above-recommended gaming PCs, it’s the main component that can bring you closer to the virtual world. There’s no golden rule in choosing the best monitor for a gaming PC.
- Generally, the bigger and the brighter screen is always the better in gaming. Thus, we recommend getting a 27-inch or 29-inch for more immersive gameplay.
- Onto the resolution; the bare requirement for gaming is Full HD (1920 x 1080). You shouldn’t compromise with anything less than this even if you’re tight on budget.
