5 Best Pre-built Gaming PCs in UAE in 2022

Sibai pointed out that our regular office PCs either don’t have a graphics card or have low-end integrations to run productivity applications. RAM is also usually not enough to run games. “Games are intensive real-time applications that require at least 16GB of RAM, as well as high-end powerful CPUs and GPUs,” Sibai added.

So, which GPU should you target? The choice is between two competing graphics cards: Nvidia GeForce and AMD Radeon. Said Sibai: “AMD GPUs are cheaper than Nvidia, but are a bit slower. You might lose a frame or two per second, although it’s not noticeable. If you’re on a budget, definitely look for AMD GPUs, because they’re great for the performance they give the value of”.

Also, the higher the resolution of the game, the more expensive the gaming PC will be. For example, our experts say you can start with an Nvidia 3060 Ti or an AMD Radeon 6600 XT for a 1080p resolution GPU.

As for the CPU, Sibai recommends the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X unit: “This is a very powerful gaming and productivity CPU for tasks like video editing or software engineers compiling software. The 7950X consumes much less power than the Intel Core i9-13900K, That’s slightly faster than an AMD unit in gaming.” Budget options include the Intel Core i7-13700K, AMD Ryzen 7 7700X or lower.

Finally, for a gaming PC, make sure you have at least 16GB of RAM. However, if you want to future-proof your device, Sibai recommends 32GB. In short, AMD is our expert’s personal favorite Intel CPU because of how good it is for work and play. But if gaming is your only focus, the latter might be a smart choice.
