Gaming PCs Reviews

Buypower’s Gaming RDY IWBG207 pairs a Core i9 with an RTX 3080 for stunning gaming performance that easily bests previous-gen rigs that cost more.

The MSI Trident X is a powerful, thin gaming PC that you can upgrade later with off-the-shelf parts.

The Maingear Turbo is the epitome of a compact luxury AMD Ryzen PC, with beautiful looks and powerful performance. But it can get very, very expensive.

Maingear’s Vybe with Apex Cooling manages to tame Intel’s Core i9-10900K for impressive, quiet performance with a polished, pretty presentation.

The Corsair Vengeance a4100 is a powerful Ryzen and Nvidia RTX-powered gaming rig with a capture card included.

The Corsair Vengeance 6182 Gaming PC is an all-AMD machine with standardized parts, though the company makes some more powerful options for less money.

The HP Pavilion Gaming 15 laptop is an affordable gaming machine with strong performance and loud speakers, but a bland display. Make sure you get enough storage.

The Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen Edition delivers impressive performance thanks to a 32-thread AMD Ryzen 9 3950X an Nvidia GeForce 2080 Ti. But it needs better cooling.

Maingear's latest Vybe runs quiet and looks understated (for a gaming desktop). But the case could be nicer--especially in the $2,499 quick-ship configuration.
